NYT Strands Today (Game #727): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game number 727 are…
- DRESS
- TUXEDO
- TIE
- HEELS
- TWINS
- DIAMONDS
- SPANGRAM: GLAMOROUS
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 1 track

Of course, I should have seen TUXEDO before, with the weird letter
Answers from yesterday’s NYT Strands (Friday, February 27, game #726)
