NYT Strands Today (Game #731): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game number 731 are…
- SUGAR
- FLOUR
- VANILLA
- CANDLES
- COLD
- COCOA
- SPANGRAM: BAKING AISLE
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: Perfect
I like to bake cakes and over the years I have made some nice ones for my children’s birthdays.
My biggest success was a Pikachu and Pokémon cake I made when they were little, at which point I realized an important truth about these things: moldable icing (more often called “frosting” in the UK) can do a great job of turning something unrecognizable into something that will delight a seven-year-old. Seriously, you could almost forget about the cake inside and just give them a bunch of shaped yellow frosting and they’ll be happy.
Despite being a relatively simple Strands puzzle, it took me longer to identify the Spangram. I discovered BAKING early on and, having already found SUGAR and FLOUR, I knew what the general theme was. But BAKE AISLE? That second half of the sentence took me a while.
Still, I got there in the end, and none of the other answers were too complicated, apart from CANDLES, which I didn’t initially think about due to them not being an ingredient as such.
