NYT Strands today (game #614) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #614, are…
- SAMBA
- TANGO
- SALSA
- TEJANO
- MARIACHI
- REGGAETON
- SPANGRAM: LATIN MUSIC
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 2 hints
It took me a while to “find the rhythm”, but SAMBA hiding in the top left hand corner was a big help to get me going.
After this, I found the most obvious forms of LATIN MUSIC – with TANGO and SALSA coming easy – but used two hints to get me closer to completion.
The longest word of the game, REGGAETON, was the hardest for me to tap out, despite the fact that it was a simple left to right. I’ll put it down to musical ignorance and an early start to the day.
