NYT Strands Today (Game #240): The Answers
The answers to today's 240th Strands game are…
- FRIEND
- COUPLE
- BETTER
- BUDDY
- BUDDY
- SPANGRAM: UNION
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
Strands is generally easier when all the words are simple synonyms, and today is an example of that. There are only five words to find, because the spangram, SET, is very long, and words like FRIEND, COMPANION, and BEST are pretty obvious. Finding that spangram was the hardest part, but even that was only the work of about a minute.
