NYT Strands today (game #613) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #613, are…
- MAGIC
- MOTOR
- WINDY
- EMERALD
- ETERNAL
- MUSIC
- GOLDEN
- SPANGRAM: NICKNAME
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Partial
The theme didn’t give much away today, but after I found MAGIC I guessed that we were looking for NICKNAME of a handful of famous cities.
MOTOR and WINDY were my obvious next cities that I searched out, but I struggled a little bit after this before finding EMERALD and ETERNAL.
Of course the second part of today’s Strands is to name all of the cities. I got six out of seven, incorrectly guessing that Emerald City referred to Miami. How many do you know?
Yesterday’s NYT Strands answers (Wednesday, November 5, game #612)
