NYT Strands Today (Game #613): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game number 613 are…
- MAGIC
- ENGINE
- WINDY
- EMERALD
- ETERNAL
- MUSIC
- GOLDEN
- SPANGRAM: NICKNAME
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Partial
The topic didn’t reveal much today, but after finding MAGIC I figured we were looking for NICKNAMES for a handful of famous cities.
MOTOR and WINDY were my next obvious cities to look for, but I struggled a bit after this before finding EMERALD and ETERNA.
Of course, the second part of today’s Strands is naming all the cities. I got six out of seven, incorrectly guessing that Emerald City meant Miami. How many do you know?
