NYT Strands today (game #119) - the answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #119, are…
- SAPPHIRE
- EMERALD
- TOPAZ
- GARNET
- AMETHYST
- SPANGRAM: JEWELTONES
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: Perfect
I've never heard the term JEWEL TONES before, which made this Strands puzzle a rather difficult one to solve even once I had the concept worked out, which was relatively early on in the game.
The fact that I've never heard of GARNET, either, and didn't know how to spell AMETHYST also made things a lot tougher than they might otherwise have been. As a result of all that, this was rather a mixed game for me – the likes of EMERALD and RUBY were obvious and easy, some of the others less so. Still, I got there in the end, and without using any hints either. I'll take that any day.
