NYT Strands Today (Game #645) – Answers
Answers to today's Strands, game #645:…
- NOUN
- VERB
- ADJECTIVE
- ARTICLE
- COMPOUND
- SPANGRAM: PARTS OF SPEECH
- My rating: Easy
- My rating: Ideal
Getting NOUN confirmed today's topic and some – if not all – of the other words we were looking for.
VERB and ADJECTIVE were the next most obvious grammatical words and after that I saw the speech and when it didn't turn blue I noticed all the spam which then revealed the ARTICLE.
All that was left was the CONNECTION, which I'm sure was most people's last find; kudos if it was your first.
