NYT Strands Today (Game #79): The Answers
The answers to today's Strands game number 79 are…
- FAVORITES
- WINDOW
- AID
- TOOLS
- ARCHIVE
- HISTORY
- EDIT
- SPANGRAM: MENU ITEMS
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: Perfect
I liked this one quite a bit. I was a little bewildered at first, finding FAVORITES by accident and struggling to link it to the 'In the Bar' theme track. That confusion only grew when I continued with WINDOW and HELP. Was it about going to a bar? You can have a favorite bar or a favorite drink. You can have a window seat. The staff can be called “help”, perhaps. In a way it fits.
Only when I discovered TOOLS did I realize what was happening. After that, it was just a matter of looking at my laptop screen and searching for options. The rest followed shortly after.
As was your day? Send me an email and let me know.
