NYT Strands Today (Game #792): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game number 792 are…
- CEDAR
- ASPEN
- DOG WOOD
- BIRCH
- CYPRESS
- EUCALYPTUS
- SPANGRAM: BRANCHING
- My rating: Hard
- My score: Perfect
May 4 is, of course, “May the Fourth/The Force be with you” day, but “forest” seems to take the pun too far, unless we’re talking about the Moon of the Forest of Endor, Takodana, which is clearly not the case.
Instead, it was a search for trees found in forests and woods, made more complex by some complicated turns to connect the letters.
The longest word in the game, EUCALYPTUS, was my last find; It’s not the most obvious tree, so I’ll forgive myself for not seeing it before.
