NYT Strands Today (Game #780): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game #780 are…
- FIX
- RECYCLE
- DONATE
- FILL OUT
- RE-USE
- REDUCE
- SPANGRAM: CONSERVATION
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
Today is, of course, Earth Day, an annual event where we all, as a human race, can show our support for the environment by behaving sustainably and thinking about how we can protect the planet for the future. Maybe not blowing it up would be a good start.
Even though the topic was obvious, it took me a while to get going today and I saw a lot of words that I should have recorded as game words.
In fact, I saw “repaid” before I saw REPAIR, “conserve” before the CONSERVATION spangram, and “cycle” before RECYCLE.
Unlike previous games, this one was decidedly lacking in ridiculously long words; perhaps the game’s creators chose not to waste their letters.
