NYT Strands today (game #128): the answers
The answers to today's Strands game #128 are…
- SCULPTURE
- CHART
- COLLAGE
- LITHOGRAPHY
- MURAL
- SPANGRAM: ART MUSEUM
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
Confession: I'd never heard the term “art museum” before today. I may be an uneducated pagan with no knowledge of fine art, but I suspect it's more a matter of a language barrier. I think the term art gallery is more commonly used here in the UK; it's certainly the one I'd use to describe places like the Tate in London. Or maybe I'm just an educated pagan.
Anyway, that confusion aside, I got through it without any major problems. The thematic clue left little doubt as to what was needed, and as soon as I found SCULPTURE, I set out to find more. The only thing that delayed me from completing it in record time was the spangram (due to the aforementioned gallery/museum confusion) and LITHOGRAPHY (because it's a long and complicated word).
