NYT Strands Today (Game #325): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game #325 are…
- BRAVE
- CARS
- SOUL
- FORWARD
- ELEMENTARY
- RATATOUILLE
- SPANGRAM: ANIMATION
- My rating: Easy
- My score: 1 track
Although I could see that this Pixar-themed puzzle included RATATOUILLE, I still had to leave it for last, and even then I had a hard time connecting the letters in the correct order. What a difficult word to spell.
Unfortunately, Strands didn’t include my favorite Pixar movie. WALL-E – no doubt for punctuation reasons. The same goes for the magnificent MONSTERS, INC.
Whenever I catch myself taking life too easy, watching football in a reclined position with a bag of chips on my lap, I often snap out of my drooling stupor thinking about WALL-E and the spaceship full of incapacitated humans who have forgotten how to fend for themselves. It is true that this happens most days.
Maybe you should buy a treadmill to watch sports TV. At least it would make the fries harder to eat.
