NYT Strands today (game #154) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #154, are…
- RING
- MIDDLE
- PALM
- PINKY
- THUMB
- CUTICLE
- NAIL
- POINTER
- SPANGRAM: ONHAND
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
This is another easy Strands, made simpler still by the theme clue giving the game away before you’d even started. After all, ‘In glove’ can’t really refer to anything other than the hand – and if, like me, you found RING or MIDDLE or PALM early on, you’ll have had that theme confirmed right away.
I doubt the whole thing took me more than about three minutes, and only CUTICLE caused me any trouble, purely because for some reason I needed a couple of attempts to spell it!
