NYT Strands today (game #129) - the answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #129, are…
- PIRATES
- CROCODILE
- DARLING
- HOOK
- LAGOON
- MERMAID
- SPANGRAM: PETERPAN
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: Perfect
One thing I like about Strands is the way it flits about from subject to subject without any real pattern. One day you can be tasked with finding garden ornaments, one day it's things you do in the morning, one day it's country music stars. Or, in today's case, PETERPAN.
It's a long time since I've read Peter Pan; I shared it with my daughters when they were little, and watched a couple of the various films with them at that time. But that's a decade ago now, and I did struggle to recall all of the elements. PIRATES was easy, CROCODILE reasonably so too. But MERMAID and LAGOON… well, I would have struggled to find them if not for the fact that the spangram cut the board neatly in half. I got them all in the end, but it wasn't the easiest Strands ever. Good fun, though.
