NYT Strands today (game #135): the answers
The answers to today's Strands game #135 are…
- CHICK
- DUCKLING
- LAMB
- GOSLING
- FOAL
- CALF
- LITTLE PIG
- SPANGRAM: BABY ANIMAL
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect

That first word, in my case, was CHICK, and I immediately realized that I now needed more baby animals, or BABY ANIMAL, as the spangram would say.
After that, all I had to do was think back to when my kids were little, when it seemed like I spent 50% of my waking hours imitating farm animals of some sort. But no, I didn't make the noises while solving the Strands puzzle…
