NYT Strands today (game #846) - the answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #846, are…
- PENTHOUSE
- STUDIO
- LOFT
- FLAT
- CONDO
- EFFICIENCY
- SPANGRAM: APARTMENTS
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
I was able to breeze around this board after spotting PENTHOUSE almost immediately — this isn’t strictly true, I spotted “house” first then saw the “pent” attached to it.
This game also featured some nice non-game words including an alternative form of accommodation for people who cannot afford APARTMENTS.
The only place I struggled was with EFFICIENCY — a term I wasn’t familiar with, as this type of small one-person apartment is called a “bedsit” in the UK, as featured in the superb 1981 synth pop hit Bedsitter by Soft Cell, which superbly sums up the single life of Bedsit Land.
