NYT Strands Today (Game #829): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game #829 are…
- PHOTO
- ARCHIVE
- SOFTWARE
- DOCUMENT
- APPLICATION
- SONG
- SPANGRAM: DOWNLOAD
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 1 track
My first thought about the “something just clicked” thing had something to do with things with switches or maybe songs with finger clicks (Under pressure by Queen and David Bowie is my favorite).
Ultimately, though, it was all about mouse clicks and the many things we could DOWNLOAD to our desktop.
It’s rare that we have a game word longer than the spangram and I’m having a hard time understanding how I couldn’t see the word APP.
Instead, I started with PHOTO, which kept me on the track of “things with switches and buttons” before one track gave me FILE and changed my way of thinking.
