NYT Strands Today (Game #875): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game #875 are…
- GURU
- MAVEN
- PANDIT
- EXPERT
- AUTHORITY
- SPECIALIST
- ESPANGRAM: BIGBRAIN
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
This was one of those games that looked like it was going to be difficult but ended up being easy.
That said, it took me a while to find my first word, but with GURU hooked, the rest seemed to fall into place.
If I were picky, based on my recent viewing of the World Cup, I wouldn’t include PUNDIT on this list; Although this is someone offering their opinion, it is often loosely based on some real fact. Although, that being said, coming from a position where you consider yourself “omniscient” or in possession of a BIGBRAIN seems to help anyone feel like they are an EXPERT.
