NYT Strands Today (Game #851): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game #851 are…
- BECHAMEL
- MARINARA
- SRIRACHA
- TERIYAKI
- TZATZIKI
- SPANGRAM: GETSAUCY
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 2 tracks
Added flavor? Surely that can only mean herbs and spices?
Oh, how wrong I was. So after wasting time searching for oregano, basil and thyme and coming across numerous non-game words, I took a hint to get started and was given the task of finding sauces by BECHAMEL.
Although I now knew the task at hand, this was still a really difficult game, mainly because the names of other possible sauces suddenly disappeared from my head, but also because every word in today’s game was long and complicated.
So, yeah, it took me another hint to complete it. Congratulations if you completed it without any.
