NYT Strands today (game #158) - the answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #158, are…
- MUSIC
- FLOATS
- SUNSCREEN
- DRINKS
- NOODLES
- TOWELS
- SPANGRAM: POOLPARTY
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
I'd rather spend time at the beach/sea than around a pool, and that might be why I've never been to a POOLPARTY. Or it could be because I don't live in a nice, sunny place like California or Florida. Either way, I was thoroughly confused by this Strands puzzle for about two minutes at the start, after finding MUSIC first. 'Splashy event' and MUSIC? What could the connection be? But then I uncovered FLOATS, too, and had that lightbulb moment where it was obvious what the theme was. The spangram followed, then the remaining answers in fairly short order for another easyish game.
