NYT Strands Today (Game #320): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game number 320 are…
- MILLENNIAL
- ALPHA
- BOOMER
- ZOOMER
- BETTER
- SPANGRAM: GENERATIONAL GAP
- My rating: Easy
- My score: 1 track
MILLENNIUM is one of those words that I really have a hard time spelling, so it was nice to spot it right away and be guided to the double N that I always miss.
There’s a sweet spot in life when you think the GENERATION GAP is a myth: you’re in touch with your younger kids, fooling yourself into thinking you’re still cool, and you’re in touch with your elders, having accumulated some skills for life. Then that gap begins to grow and before you know it, there is no longer so much of a gap between you and the trendsetters in society, but rather a Grand Canyon.
The best thing you can do is accept it and not care how long you wear the socks or what people think of your Lady Di hair and your collection of ties.
