NYT Strands today (game #215) - the answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #215, are…
- TITLE
- ATLAS
- FLARE
- MANUAL
- QUARTER
- REGISTRATION
- SPANGRAM: GLOVEBOX
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: 3 hints
I'm sorry but this Strands puzzle does not work. Or rather, it does not work for me. At all. The spangram/theme is GLOVEBOX, but of the six things listed for it, only one would be found within mine. MANUAL? No, that's on an app – it's not 2015 any more. ATLAS? Are you serious? It's not 2010. Have you not heard of Google Maps! FLARE? Er, no, that sounds dangerous. QUARTER? One, I'm not in the US, so of course not. Two, I don't use coins any more, it's not 2018.
This whole puzzle is just bizarre from my point of view. Look inside my glovebox and you'd find some boiled sweets, a scraper for the windscreen, a battery charge pack and that's about it. There may be cultural differences at play here, admittedly, but that made it all rather difficult to solve and I needed three hints to complete the game.
How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.
