NYT Strands today (game #125) - the answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #125, are…
- GNOME
- PLANTER
- BIRDBATH
- WINDSOCK
- FLAMINGO
- SPANGRAM: LAWNORNAMENT
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: 1 hint
It took me a while to get started today, and I eventually needed to use a hint for the first answer. Then, when that word was revealed, it still took me ages to work out what it actually was, because I couldn't assemble the letters properly! That word was GNOME, which in my defence is spelled oddly, and once I had it this game became a lot easier.
