NYT Strands Today (Game #815): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game #815 are…
- SAUSAGE
- GOLF CLUB
- FOOT LONG
- FIRECRACKER
- weenie
- SPANGRAM: HOTDIGGITYDOG
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
Ketchup or mustard? It could only mean one thing: hot dogs. But how could Strands extend this to a full game, especially since the word “HOTDOG” seemed to not be the spangram?
These were my thoughts when I started this game, which features the different types of sausages found inside a split bun. The words themselves were easy enough to spot, but the unnecessarily long spangram was a curveball.
I think I was also a little bothered by the word “or” in the topic. Surely everyone has both?
