NYT Strands today (game #726) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #726, are…
- EXCESS
- SURPLUS
- GLUT
- OVERKILL
- REDUNDANCY
- SPANGRAM: ENOUGHALREADY
- My rating: Hard
- My score: Perfect
Today’s game took me a little bit longer, which is why I’m classing it as tricky despite Strands telling me my score was “perfect”.
After getting EXCESS I ground to a halt and collected a few non-game words, and it was after spotting “ready” — and then the spangram ENOUGHALREADY — that I regained traction.
REDUNDANCY would not have been the first word I would have expected among this group of words and thankfully it was lurking last, with no other options.
Yesterday’s NYT Strands answers (Thursday, February 26, game #725)
- PROBE
- ROVER
- SATELLITE
- LANDER
- MODULE
- ORBITER
- SPANGRAM: SPACECRAFT
