NYT Strands Today (Game #787): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game number 787 are…
- HOOK
- REEL
- LURE
- WEIGHT
- SPIN
- PLIERS
- COOLER
- CORK
- SPANGRAM: CONFRESHMENT
- My rating: Hard

Today’s topic didn’t leave much room for conjecture as it was obviously about angling.
The speed at which one attacked this game depended on the number of fishing-related words one knew, and since I know almost none, this was limited to the really obvious ones of HOOK, REEL, and the TACKLE spangram.
After a clue gave me the fourth word, one I really should have known in LURE, I walked around the board at a pace similar to a day spent on the riverbank sleeping and waiting for a catch.
