NYT Strands Today (Game #655): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game number 655 are…
- HONEY
- GARLIC
- LEMON
- ELDER
- TURMERIC
- SPANGRAM: IMMUNE REINFORCEMENTS
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
I didn’t know the benefits of ELDER, but I was more than aware of the other “natural remedies” we were looking for today.
That said, I struggled to get going, possibly because I have a cold and desperately need some IMMUNE BOOSTS, until I finally saw HONEY, GARLIC, and LEMON.
On the topic of spangram, I hope I’m not the only one who tried to find the word immunity.
