NYT Strands Today (Game #100): The Answers
The answers to today's 100th Strands game are…
- RAISE
- RAISE
- EXALT
- SUPPORT
- HOIST
- INCREASE
- LEVITATE
- SPANGRAM:ALLRISE
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: Perfect
This is a bit more standard Strands puzzle than others, as rather than being words grouped together as such, they are mostly synonyms. That said, the spangram, ALLRISE, doesn't really fit that pattern. Or maybe I'm being unfair: I guess all answers mean PROMOTION, so in that sense it works.
Either way, I found this to be a little harder than some Strands puzzles. Thinking about synonyms should be second nature to me, but it's easier in theory than in practice, and even once I thought of one I couldn't necessarily figure it out; It took me a long time to place ELEVATE, for example. Still, I got there in the end.
