NYT Strands today (game #700) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #700, are…
- GRANT
- BONUS
- AWARD
- OFFERING
- PRESENT
- DONATION
- SPANGRAM: GENEROSITY
- My rating: Hard
- My score: Perfect
Despite needing no hints I’m classifying this game as hard because it took me so long to find all the words.
Part of the difficulty was that all the words – with the exception of GRANT – read from right to left, something I still struggle with despite several years of playing this game.
GENEROSITY is one of mankind’s greatest traits, but as is the case with many if not all of today’s search words, it is all too often associated with financial generosity as opposed to the generosity of kindness – which is something we can all afford.
