NYT Strands today (game #101) - the answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #101, are…
- JELLY
- CIDER
- HOLE
- GLAZED
- FROSTED
- CAKE
- POWDERED
- SPANGRAM: DOUGHNUTS
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: Perfect
I did solve this Strands puzzle without using any hints – but it took me a long time. I'm not really a big doughnut eater, and several of these answers were not familiar to me as fillings or types. CIDER, for instance, seems bizarre to me; CIDER is an alcoholic drink where I'm from, not a doughnut. CAKE? What's a cake doughnut? It would also never occur to me to buy them by the dozen, as per the theme clue – why would you need more than one?
It was only really the combination of my having found JELLY and HOLE by accident that led me to the theme, and after that the spangram, at which point things got a lot easier.
