NYT Strands Today (Game #218): The Answers
The answers to today's Strands game #218 are…
- CHOICE
- MARVELOUS
- SWELL
- DANDY
- BOSS
- FAIR
- ADVERTISING HYPE
- SPANGRAM: ESESCOOOL
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
Who knew there were so many words that essentially meant THAT'S COOL? I guess so, because I found them all, although I admit that I have never used the terms HYPE, RIGHTEOUS, SWELL, GROOVY, CHOICE, BOSS or DANDY to describe something that is good. Always great.
Anyway, this is a pretty easy Strands puzzle, other than RIGHTEOUS being annoyingly hard to spell (could be just me).
