NYT Strands Today (Game #50) – The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #50, are…
- KNIGHT
- MAGE
- BARD
- VILLAIN
- WIZARD
- ASSASSIN
- HUNTER
- SPANGRAM: FANTASY
- My score: Moderate
- My score: Perfect
That’s more like it. After really struggling to solve yesterday’s Strands and ending up needing two hints, I found this a lot easier. That said, you may not have done that – because how easy it was for you will depend on your knowledge of the fantasy genre. Mine is quite strong, so once I found KNIGHT and then MAGE, both of which were relatively obvious, I was able to take them out one by one without mishap.
