NYT Strands today (game #715) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #715, are…
- JUMP
- LIFT
- LOOP
- COMBO
- CROSSOVER
- THROW
- SPIN
- SPANGRAM: FIGURESKATING
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 1 hint
Seeing a rare letter like J in the game is a big leg up to getting a word, but after finding JUMP I need some more assistance so took a hint. LIFT didn’t help me make sense of what we were searching for either.
On a quest for more non-game words I discovered skating, then FIGURESKATING and finally caught on to our Winter Olympics-themed diversion.
I’m enjoying the events from Italy, but I do think there should be more multi-sport events like there is for athletics. Maybe something that combined the skeleton, snowboarding and curling would be a hit? Also, considering how big a part they’re playing in the coverage, they may as well have a drone race to the top of the mountain and back.
Yesterday’s NYT Strands answers (Sunday, February 15, game #714)
- GRASP
- APPREHEND
- FATHOM
- UNDERSTAND
- REALIZE
