NYT Strands today (game #607) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #607, are…
- SKULL
- FEMUR
- FIBULA
- ULNA
- RADIUS
- STERNUM
- HUMERUS
- SPANGRAM: SKELETON
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 2 hints
First off, what a treat to have a Halloween-themed board with orange and purple highlights and a spooky results grid. In the words of Strands, “Well done!”
This game was very much a case of trick or hint for me. I started off well, seeing SKULL and then FEMUR, but after getting these and the third most obvious bone, FIBULA, I ran aground.
Fortunately, I found plenty of non-game words in the pumpkin patch and hints gave me ULNA and RADIUS and after getting the spangram I was able to unearth STERNUM and HUMERUS.
