NYT Strands Today (Game #726): The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands game #726 are…
- EXCESS
- SURPLUS
- EXCESS
- EXCESS
- REDUNDANCY
- SPANGRAM: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
- My rating: Hard
- My score: Perfect
Today’s game took me a little longer, which is why I classify it as difficult even though Strands told me my score was “perfect.”
After having EXCESS, I stopped and collected some non-play words, and it was after spotting “done”, and then the ENOUGH spangram, that I regained traction.
REDUNDANCY would not have been the first word I would have expected among this group of words and fortunately it was lurking at the end, with no other options.
