NYT Strands today (game #797) - the answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #797, are…
- ARTICHOKE
- LETTUCE
- RADISH
- ONION
- ASPARAGUS
- SPANGRAM: SPRINGVEGGIES
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
I initially thought I was playing yesterday’s game again but the themes are subtly different — yesterday it was “garden variety” as in commonplace and today it’s “garden varieties” as in the many vegetables one may grow in an actual garden, specifically in springtime.
That sorted out, I spotted ARTICHOKE almost immediately. Well, that’s a lie, I spotted “choke” immediately and then wondered if it could actually be ARTICHOKE.
After getting LETTUCE it was all pretty rudimentary, as each word was layered over each over in a growing heap — a bit like compost I suppose.
Yesterday's NYT Strands answers (Friday, May 8, game #796)
- BASIC
- PROSAIC
- COMMON
- ORDINARY
- PEDESTRIAN
