NYT Strands Today (Game #625): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game number 625 are…
- SCRAMBLED
- JUMPED
- CHAOTIC
- SHUFFLED
- CONFUSED
- SPANGRAM: OUT OF SHAPE
- My rating: Hard
- My score: Perfect
This game was all about how many different words you can think of that are OUTOFORDER, although I admit I was quite confused myself at first.
After getting SCRAMBLED first, I thought the kind of “all mixed up” we were going for was cooking related, but I soon changed my mind after connecting the letters of JUMBLED and CAOTIC.
Then after mingling I managed to see the spangram. All in all, I’m surprised I didn’t use a hint.
