NYT Strands today (game #738) - the answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #738, are…
- ARMOR
- CAMOUFLAGE
- AGILITY
- DISTRACTION
- MIMICRY
- SPANGRAM: DEFENSES
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 2 hints
This was a great game with, somewhat ironically, some very well hidden and very tricky words.Despite getting the hardest word in the game — CAMOUFLAGE — I needed hints to get me the two easiest. That said, AGILITY is not the most obvious of DEFENSES.I sometimes wonder how I’d cope if I was shrunk down to the size of a mouse and became prey to my pet cats. Of all the types of survival techniques that are available in today’s game I think the one I’d try is DISTRACTION — by the time I’ve finished burping the alphabet they’d be either too bored, confused or revolted to bother with me.
