NYT Strands today (game #118) - the answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #118, are…
- COMET
- ASTEROID
- PLANET
- GALAXY
- MOON
- SATELLITE
- SPANGRAM: OUTERPSACE
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
I'm a proper space buff and spend much of my free time staring at the skies through a telescope, taking photos of distant galaxies and nebulae – or more often cursing the fact that it's a cloudy night yet again.
Anyway, that helped me find all of the answers easily once again today – well, once I'd worked out what the theme was. I'd uncovered dozens of potential answers, all of which ended up merely being hints (none of which I used), before I finally got COMET, and realized what the connection was. After that it was plain sailing, other than the spangram, which took me a little while to identify.
How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.
