NYT Strands today (game #192) - the answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #192, are…
- PUZZLE
- TRUCK
- SLIME
- DOLL
- PUPPET
- BLOCKS
- TRICYCLE
- SPANGRAM: TOYSTORE
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
It's a long, long time since I was child, but it's not quite so long ago that my kids were more likely to be found playing with SLIME or a PUZZLE than they were to be fixated on TikTok or Netflix as they generally are these days. Not that I think you'd need first-hand experience to solve this Strands game – because it's a rather simple one.
The theme clue set the tone: the keen-eyed among you will have spotted that it was 'Play-with words', rather than 'Play with words'. That hyphen was all-important, signifying that the answers here would be things you can play with. After that, it was merely a case of looking for the obvious solutions. PUZZLE, with its two Zs, stood out right away, as did TRUCK (I always look for C and K in close proximity as a way into a word). The spangram was fairly obvious too, and is always the case the puzzle got easier as I uncovered each word.
