NYT Strands Today (Game #844): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game #844 are…
- FACIAL
- AROMATHERAPY
- ACUPUNCTURE
- MASSAGE
- SPANGRAM: SPATREATMENT
- My rating: Hard
- My score: Perfect
Yesterday we were resting, today we are resting. I wonder if anyone at Strands Towers wants a break.
Fortunately, after congratulating myself for choosing “spatial” as a non-game word, I realized that FACIAL was hiding in plain sight and that our search revolved around words related to SPATREATMENT.
When I was training for the London Marathon about a decade ago, I was in a permanent state of pain and receiving massages from someone whose technique was closer to brutal than relaxing; in fact, many of his clients called him “the massage terrorist.”
To be honest, it put me off any kind of treatment, but the knots I got into trying to untangle today’s quest had me daydreaming about some rejuvenating therapy.
