NYT Strands Today (Game #744): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game number 744 are…
- FLAG
- PARTY
- GODDESS
- LIGHT
- BERET
- THUMB
- PEPPER
- ROOM
- SPANGRAM: GOGREEN
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
It’s been a while since the NYT experimented with its yellow and blue color scheme for Strands, so seeing the many shades of green today added a unique element to the search.
After getting FLAG and PARTY first, I still thought the eight words would all be connected to St. Patrick’s Day, but I soon put that aside after finding GODDESS and realizing what the actual theme was.
I breezed through the game until the last two words, where I somehow guessed “moor” before ROOM and found myself suffering from letter blindness due to the three P’s of PEPPER.
