NYT Strands Today (Game #259): The Answers
The answers to today's Strands game number 259 are…
- TOWER
- CASTLE
- BRIDGE
- STRONG
- PALACE
- MONUMENT
- BOW
- SPANGRAM: MILESTONE
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
Cameras ready? Then set off in search of PLACES OF INTEREST. These days you'll need to take a selfie in front of them, showing the world that you were there, because that's what's important, right? And be sure to share it with everyone too, rather than enjoying the CASTLE, PALACE or MONUMENT for its own aesthetic value.
I'm not sure why this Strands triggered me so much (I'm probably just in a bad mood this morning), but I don't have those problems with the puzzle itself, which is fine. It wasn't very difficult, really, once I started. But that in itself was an easy task, given that TOWER was prominently placed on the left side of the grid. An easy day.
