NYT Strands today (game #127): the answers
The answers to today's Strands game #127 are…
- WAKE UP
- SHOWER
- BREAKFAST
- DRESS
- WORK
- SNAP
- SPANGRAM: MORNING ROUTINE
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
What's your morning routine? Mine consists of waking up (no naps), playing Strands, Connections, Quordle, and finally Wordle, and then running around like crazy to shower, get dressed, and if there's time, eat breakfast before work. The NYT morning routine, as described here, doesn't involve playing word games, but I'm guessing it's a pretty standard way for most people to start the day. And for that reason, it's another pretty easy routine to figure out.
First I found WAKE, which confirmed my intuition about the game's theme based on the clue, then I came up with SHOWER and BREAKFAST. Next I found the spangram, which was so long that it left very little room for a dilemma about the remaining answers, meaning I completed it in no more than five minutes once I figured out that first word.
