NYT Strands today (game #447) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #447, are…
- CHAMPAGNE
- PILLOW
- LEGROOM
- PRIVACY
- TOWELETTE
- SPANGRAM: FIRST CLASS
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
I flew FIRST CLASS once when the friend I was traveling with managed to get us an upgrade. It was very much like that episode of The Simpsons when Homer discovers that there is a secret world that only beautiful people are allowed entry to.
I spent the entire flight feeling like an imposter. An imposter who was enjoying eating lobster and shrimps with fine CHAMPAGNE, of course.
Another time, the Icelandic tourist board bumped me up to business class, which was thrilling news except I got stuck in security and missed the flight and then got downgraded back down to coach. It was frustrating but I enjoyed the momentary “flight of fancy”, feeling like an important businessperson even though I didn’t get to enjoy the perks of being an important businessperson. I know my place.
Anyway, I digress. A straightforward search today and a reminder of the small things that make a big difference when it comes to comfort.
How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.
