NYT Strands today (game #679) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #679, are…
- WHOOPEE
- HUZZAH
- BOOYAH
- HOORAY
- YIPPEE
- AWESOME
- SPANGRAM: THATSGREAT
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 1 hint
Even though I was fully aware of today’s theme I lacked the enthusiasm to complete it without some help.
After getting two upbeat words I drew a blank and had a lie down, before a hint delivered BOOYAH – one thing today’s search lacks is exclamation marks, as all the words look wrong without them.
This was also a collection that’s fun to say and imagine the kind of things worthy of saying a hearty HUZZAH! to.
Yesterday’s NYT Strands answers (Saturday, January 10, game #678)
