NYT Strands Today (Game #693): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game number 693 are…
- POLE
- PICKET
- PLUG
- BATON
- CANE
- BET
- SPANGRAM: STICKY SITUATION
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
This was one of those rare games where finding words that weren’t in the game was harder than finding one of the seven “hard and fast” words in the game.
I first found spangram, after seeing stick and sticky, instead of the whole 15-letter beast. And from there the search was short of surprises.
My lowest point was when there was only one word left and only five letters to connect, when I still managed to spell STAKE incorrectly.
