NYT Strands (game #448) - The Answers
- SELL
- DONATE
- LABEL
- DECLUTTER
- REORGANIZE
- Spangram: SPRING CLEANING
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: 1 hint
Assembling the letters that composed REORGANIZE proved to be a difficult task. I spent a couple of minutes scrutinizing the remaining letters at the end of today's puzzle before finally spotting the solution.
I initially found SELL after a hint, so it wasn't immediately clear what we were looking for until I discovered DONATE and LABEL. If I had noticed DECLUTTER sooner, I might have finished the puzzle more quickly, leaving me time for some real-life spring cleaning.
It's always fascinating to see the various ways Strands manages to conceal the Spangram. With this edition, the spangram started and ended on the same side, making it a rare find. Well done.
