NYT Strands Today (Game #733): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game number 733 are…
- ENTHUSIASTIC
- MANIAC
- FAN
- DEVOTEE
- STANDARD
- SPANGRAM: YOUR BIGGEST FAN
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 2 tracks
Music plays a huge role in my life, but I can never imagine being so obsessed with a person that I would ever be described as a STAN or a DEVOTE, let alone a MANIAC.
STAN is an interesting addition to the canon of words to describe someone who is YOUR BIGGEST FAN, as the spangram would have it: it didn’t exist in this form until 2000, when it appeared as the title of an Eminem song about, yes, an obsessive fan. It has since become part of the established terminology around fandom, proving once again that language is an ever-evolving beast.
I struggled once again to solve this Strands puzzle and needed a couple of clues to get started. The very long spangram didn’t help, nor did the fact that I couldn’t untangle MANIAC from its tangle of letters.
