NYT Strands today (game #124) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #124, are…
- TELL
- UTTER
- TALK
- SIGN
- SPEAK
- EXPRESS
- DECLARE
- SPANGRAM: ARTICULATION
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
This is a fairly easy Strands puzzle that simply involves finding words that mean ‘to articulate’. The theme clue went a long way to giving the game away, so once I discovered TELL I was up and running. The likes of TALK and UTTER were easy to uncover, too, and only the spangram really complicated matters, simply because it’s a long and complex word.
