NYT Strands today (game #236) - the answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #236, are…
- CHIRP
- SQUEAK
- PURR
- GROWL
- BARK
- SQUAWK
- GRUNT
- MEOW
- SPANGRAM: PETSOUNDS
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
What better way to end the working week than by solving a Strands puzzle that's all about PETSOUNDS. No, not the Beach Boys album – though I would have been VERY happy to have had a Strands game with that as the theme – but rather the actual sounds made by animals. For instance SQUEAK, PURR, BARK, MEOW and CHIRP.
They're all pretty obvious, to be honest, so I doubt anyone here will have struggled too much. The most difficult element will have been to get started, but many of the answers are easy to find, so even that is unlikely to have troubled you by much.
How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.
