NYT Strands Today (Game #68) – The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #68, are…
- LAUNCH
- REIMPORT
- SPLASHDOWN
- TRACK
- MEETING
- SPANGRAM: SPACE FLIGHT
- My score: Simple
- My score: Perfect
No problems for me, because space travel is pretty much my specialty. No, I’m not an astronaut – but I wanted to be one when I was a kid, and ever since I’ve been obsessed with all things space.
To make this Strands puzzle even easier, the word “space” was easy to make out, which early on led to SPACEFLIGHT, the spangram. None of the words proved difficult to find from then on, although ENCOUNTER arguably has some common ground with space travel (so far, at least).
