NYT Strands today (game #105) - the answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #105, are…
- CHAI
- MATCHA
- JASMINE
- CHAMOMILE
- OOLONG
- GUNPOWDER
- SPANGRAM: TEATIME
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: 1 hint
Fun fact: I have never drunk a single cup of tea. Not JASMINE or MATCHA or OOLONG or any of the other varieties that form the answers to today's NYT Strands puzzle. That made the task a fair bit harder for me than it may well have been for you, to the extent that I needed one hint to get started.
Once I had that, it wasn't too bad; I'd heard of all of them other than GUNPOWDER, which I solved right at the end. I was tripped up by CHAMOMILE, though, because it's spelled without the H in the UK – another example of the NYT's lack of awareness (or lack of interest) in global language. It's not like there aren't plenty of other teas they could have included instead of that one.
How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.
