NYT Strands Today (Game #736): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game number 736 are…
- PUMPKIN
- BEAN
- MUFFIN
- NUGGET
- DUMPLING
- PEANUT
- SPANGRAM: LOVE
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
It is curious that so many gastronomic words are often terms of LOVE. I guess it just goes to show how fundamental deliciousness is to our lives. But that said, I don’t think I’ve ever called anyone BEAN, and I’m pretty sure if I called my other half DUMPLING I’d get punched.
Fortunately, solving the Strands puzzle didn’t put me in danger, as PUMPKIN, BEAN, and MUFFIN jumped out from the start. That gave me a good path for the spangram, and the other words followed without drama.
