NYT Strands Today (Game #775): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game number 775 are…
- OYSTER
- CLAM
- SHELL
- ABALONE
- LIMPET
- MUSSEL
- Scallop
- SPANGRAM: MOLLUSK
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
Unlike previous rounds, I did well to take today’s topic literally and go out in search of sea creatures that have shells, also known as MOLLUSK, which automatically led me to today’s spangram.
This was my first spangram number 81. How many do you have?
As a seafood lover, I found this search pretty easy. Abalone was my only moment of uncertainty and I suffered word blindness as I missed my favorite food of all, scallop.
