Happy 4th of July, everyone! I don’t celebrate it myself, because I’m in the UK. No, I’m not still sore that we lost the war of independence, it’s just not a thing here. That might have made the game a little harder, but frankly the NYT made it very easy for everyone today.
For one, the spangram is INDEPENDENCE DAY, which takes up a whopping 15 out of the 48 letters on the board. That only left space for five standard answers, and one of them, FIREWORKS, was very easy to find and used another nine.
Secondly, the answers here are not specific to a US celebration – the likes of PARADE and FLAG and SPARKLERs are mainstays of national days everywhere, so picking them off one by one was really not a challenge.
How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.
