The answers to today’s Strands, game #127, are…
[ul]
[li]WAKE[/li][li]SHOWER[/li][li]BREAKFAST[/li][li]DRESS[/li][li]WORK[/li][li]SNOOZE[/li][li]SPANGRAM: MORNINGROUTINE[/li][/ul]
[ul]
[li]My rating: Easy[/li][li]My score: Perfect[/li][/ul]
What’s your morning routine? Mine involves waking up (no snoozing), playing Strands, Connections, Quordle and lastly Wordle, then running around in a mad panic to shower, dress, and if there’s time grab breakfast, before work. The NYT’s morning routine, as described here, doesn’t involve playing word games, but is otherwise a fairly standard start to the day for most people, I imagine. And for that reason, it’s another fairly easy one to solve.
I found WAKE first, which confirmed my hunch about the game’s theme based on the clue, then came up with SHOWER and BREAKFAST. Next up was the spangram – and that was so long that it left very little space for much of a dilemma over the remaining answers, meaning I completed this in no more than about five minutes once I’d discovered that first word.
