NYT Strands Today (Game #68): The Answers
The answers to today's Strands game number 68 are…
- LAUNCH
- RE-ENTRY
- SPLASHDOWN
- ORBIT
- FIND
- SPANGRAM: SPACE FLIGHT
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
There are no problems for me here, since space flights are my specialty. No, I'm not an astronaut, but I wanted to be one when I was a kid and I've been obsessed with all things space ever since.
To make this Strands puzzle even easier, the word “space” was easy to distinguish, leading to SPACEFLIGHT, the spangram, from the beginning. None of the words proved difficult to find thereafter, although ENCOUNTER is arguably a bit tangential to spaceflight (at least until now).
