NYT Strands Today (Game #645): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game #645 are…
- NOUN
- VERB
- ADJECTIVE
- ARTICLE
- CONJUNCTION
- SPANGRAM: PARTS OF SPEECH
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
Getting NOUN confirmed today’s topic and some (if not all) of the other words we were looking for.
VERB and ADJECTIVE were the next most obvious grammatical words and after this I saw the speech and when it didn’t turn blue I saw the entire spangram, which then exposed the ARTICLE.
All that was left was CONJUNCTION, which I’m sure was most people’s last discovery; Congratulations if you were the first.
