NYT Strands today (game #179) - the answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #179, are…
- LATTE
- MOCHA
- ESPRESSO
- CAPPUCCINO
- BLACK
- ICED
- SPANGRAM: COFFEEORDER
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
I am not a coffee drinker, but even I know enough about the ubiquitous drink to be able to solve today's Strands in short order. The theme clue helped, as did the fact that LATTE stood out along one side of the board. With those two clues in my armory, I was clear on what I needed to do here and found the answers easily. Well, almost. Once again, the spangram proved a bit more… obscure. COFFEEORDER? Really? It's not exactly a common phrase, is it? But anyway, I found that too and solved this Strands in a couple of minutes.
