NYT Strands Today (Game #830): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game #830 are…
- BLUES
- FUSE
- CHOOSE
- BEERS
- SCHMOOZE
- SHOES
- CRUISE
- SPANGRAM: RHYME TIME
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 1 track
It took me quite a while to understand today’s topic, but after I noticed the first word I found (BLUE) and a key word (FUSE) that rhymed, I slowly realized that we weren’t looking for things that ooze.
Well this is a game you can’t lose so whatever i choose would give me clues what can i wear to satisfy my muse…
Anyway I digress. From here, it was just a matter of finding the words that rhymed, which SCHMOOZE took me a long time to figure out, trying to ooze and, ahem, mooze, before finally getting there. Well, I think I need a snap.
