NYT Strands Today (Game #822): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game #822 are…
- YELLOW
- COVERAGE
- WILD
- HEATHER
- DAMASCUS
- MEADOW
- SPANGRAM: ROSE GARDEN

I don’t think I’ve ever gotten so deep into a Strands game without understanding what I was looking for. Fortunately, after exhausting all the available non-game words, I saw the spangram and my exhaustion ended.
