NYT Strands today (game #153): the answers
The answers to today's Strands game #153 are…
- BAROQUE
- MODERN
- ROMANTIC
- CLASSIC
- MEDIEVAL
- SPANGRAM: HISTORY OF ART
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
I solved this problem in a rather indirect way, first by getting the spangram and then finding the individual answers, but otherwise I probably would have had a hard time. The theme clue for “A Night at the Museum” didn't suggest ART HISTORY or things like ROMANTIC or BAROQUE to me; I was thinking of dinosaurs, Romans, mummies, etc.
Still, with ARTHISTORY in place, it became obvious what kind of words I needed to find, and I checked them all off with minimal effort from there.
