NYT Strands today (game #207) - the answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #207, are…
- SWING
- CRIB
- HIGHCHAIR
- STROLLER
- BLANKET
- PLAYPEN
- SPANGRAM: BABYGEAR
- My rating: Easy
- My score: 1 hint
I needed a hint here, because the theme clue of 'Special delivery' wasn't enough for me to identify the concept, even once I'd uncovered my first answer, SWING, by accident. This was unfortunate – if I'd have got CRIB or HIGHCHAIR or PLAYPEN I'm sure I'd have been fine. But SWING can mean many things, as can Special delivery, so I was left in the dark until I used that hint.
After that it was plain sailing, other than for the spangram; I could see that BABY was part of it, but needed to cross off a few more answers before I realized that GEAR was the other half of the word. But in summary: it was, um, child's play.
