NYT Strands today (game #55) - the answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #55, are…
- QUEEN
- DOCTOR
- ADMIRAL
- REVEREND
- PROFESSOR
- SENATOR
- SPANGRAM: TITLES
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
The theme clue of 'Call me?' was a little opaque today, but that aside this was a relatively simple Strands puzzle with which to end the working week (for those of us who work Monday-Friday, that is). It's one of those games where finding the first answer may well have been enough to identify the overall theme, and where finding one answer was very easy.
That's because there's a Q in it – and Q words are generally easy to solve. For instance, you know that it's definitely going to be followed by a U, and that reduces the number of directions in which the word can develop. It was a cinch today to uncover QUEEN – and together with the clue that gave me the info I needed to look for (and find) the likes of DOCTOR and PROFESSOR. A couple took a little more effort (I'm looking at you, SENATOR and ADMIRAL), but as a whole this was not too bad.
