NYT Strands Today (Game #108): The Answers
The answers to today's Strands game number 108 are…
- MOUSE
- PRINTER
- KEYBOARD
- MONITOR
- WEBCAM
- SPEAKERS
- SPANGRAM: DESKTOP
- My rating: Easy
- My score: 1 track
I work from home a couple days a week, so I really should have completed this without the use of any hints, but I inexplicably got stuck when I was almost done and had to use one to advance my game. Things started well, with the MOUSE discovered from the start, and the PRINTER, KEYBOARD, MONITOR and spangram, DESKTOP, quickly added.
But even though I only had 14 letters left, I couldn't form two more answers from them. And I couldn't think of anything else computer-related that people could use. My own desktop computer was no help: I only have a laptop, so not a single one of the answers on the NYT list, although I assume it does have a keyboard, speakers, and a built-in webcam. Anyway, I used a hint to identify WEBCAM, then I was able to add SPEAKERS after that.
As was your day? Send me an email and let me know.
