NYT Strands today (game #403) - the answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #403, are…
- WINGS
- THORAX
- TONGUE
- ABDOMEN
- STINGER
- ANTENNAE
- SPANGRAM: BUMBLE BEE
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: 1 hint
The first couple of words I found in today's search were WINGS and THORAX, so I knew we were looking for something to do with insects, but I wasn’t sure which one until I got the Spangram right at the end. A timely theme as we are entering the peak period for bumblebee activity.
Some BUMBLEBEEs are extraordinarily buzzy. Generally they come in peace and don’t use their STINGER on humans, as they’re only interested in two things – getting nectar from flowers and getting trapped in window blinds.
Interestingly, if you do get stung by a bumblebee then it will be by a female, as male drones have no weapons whatsoever – apart from being annoying.
How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.
