NYT Strands Today (Game #777): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game number 777 are…
- ADJUST
- MODIFY
- TWEAK
- REFINE
- IMPROVE
- ALTER
- SPANGRAM: THEREIFIXEDIT
- My rating: Hard
- My score: Perfect
Even though I managed to complete this game without any clues, I still classify it as “tricky”, because it took me longer than usual to complete it, and that was with the big help of a couple of rare letters.
The other bonus was that after seeing “there” on the board I decided it had to be part of the spangram and continued connecting letters until I came to THEREIFIXEDIT, a spangram that felt very similar to a magician pulling an endless scarf out of a top hat.
Today’s quest, then, revolved around perfectionism and people who have to get things done that way to feel like they’ve completed a job to their high standards, a character trait I certainly don’t have. Instead of “I fixed it there,” my phrase when repairing things is “that’s useful there.” Maybe we evaders will one day have our own Strands.
