NYT Strands today (game #45) - the answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #45, are…
- PACE
- SPEED
- TRACK
- NUTRITION
- TRAINER
- COURSE
- GAIT
- SPANGRAM: MARATHON
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: Perfect
This may well be the closest I'll get to completing a marathon, because frankly it's not on my bucket list. For that reason I did struggle to think of a couple of words, though I got the theme very early on, after finding MARATHON (the spangram) within minutes of starting. GAIT and NUTRITION caused me particular problems, but as is always the case with Strands, once you find most of the solutions the others can easily be uncovered via brute force.
