NYT Strands Today (Game #74): The Answers
The answers to today's Strands game number 74 are…
- BITTER
- SALTY
- SWEET
- SOUR
- umami
- SPICY
- SPICY
- CAKE
- SPANGRAM: FLAVORS
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
I hated Tuesday's Strands puzzle (the sausage one), but despite covering a similar food-based topic, this one was much more satisfying, especially because it makes sense! The only problem is that, like yesterday's (see below), it's arguably too easy.
I found BITTER, SALTY, SWEET, and SOUR quickly, based on the theme clue and the fact that all four are pretty simple words. UMAMI was a little more difficult because I couldn't remember how to spell it, but once I had the spangram, I marked it too. The remaining responses followed shortly after.
