NYT Strands Today (Game #767): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game number 767 are…
- ENAMEL
- CAKE
- COOL
- ACRYLIC
- WATERCOLOR
- TEMPERA
- SPANGRAM: MEDIUM
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
Judging by the topic, this quest was going to be about basketball or painting, but I hadn’t anticipated that it would actually be about art.
The incredibly basic spangram from left to right didn’t change things much, but spotting ENAMEL, and then quickly PASTEL, did, and from there it was a case of finding different types of painting mediums.
Everything was going well until the brakes were hit with the last word. I had never heard of TEMPERA (tempurayes) and it took a few failed attempts before I finally created the word (for the record, tempera is a permanent, quick-drying, water-based painting medium historically created by mixing pigments with a binder, usually egg yolk).
