NYT Strands today (game #625) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #625, are…
- SCRAMBLED
- JUMBLED
- CHAOTIC
- SHUFFLED
- MUDDLED
- SPANGRAM: OUTOFORDER
- My rating: Hard
- My score: Perfect
This game was all about how many different words you could think of that are OUTOFORDER, although I’ll admit I was pretty confused myself at the beginning.
After getting SCRAMBLED first I thought the kind of “all mixed up” we were looking for was connected to cooking, but I soon changed my mind after connecting the letters of JUMBLED and CHAOTIC.
Then, after getting SHUFFLED, I managed to see the spangram. All in all I’m amazed I didn’t use a hint.
