NYT Strands Today (Game #292): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game number 292 are…
- LOOP
- SCALE
- CHARM
- BANG
- PEBBLE
- CRUNCH
- HAPPINESS
- SPANGRAM: CEREAL
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
The older commercial breakfast CEREAL Grape-Nuts is not on the current list of pulverized oats, warm rice, toasted corn, defatted wheat germ and puffed wheat, also known as CEREAL, and its many ultra-processed mouthfeels.
Of course, many cultures would never consider eating multicolored cereals for breakfast (not even Grape-Nuts, which have managed to retain their air of good health outdoors after 127 years) and consuming eggs, rice, or meat-based meals. instead. I recently lasted two days following a diet plan that recommended salad for breakfast.
Despite their bad reputation, cereals are not always the worst option. Once, when I was in a hostel in Amsterdam, they gave me the following for “breakfast”: a crusty bread, a small box of chocolate chips, and a can of Heineken. Give me a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch any day.
