NYT Strands Today (Game #878): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game #878 are…
- DOLL
- PUPPET
- FICTIONAL
- MANIKIN
- FIGURINE
- STATUE
- SPANGRAM: MANUFACTURED

A made man could mean a titan of industry, a gangster, or, if taken literally, a scarecrow or even a PUPPET.
My first two words had double letters, a pattern that continued with DUMMY and the slightly more challenging MANNEQUIN, a word I would have struggled to spell without my help.
With the quest pretty much figured out I saw FABRICED, although for full disclosure I must reveal that I completely missed it while collecting “cloth” as a non-gaming word.
