NYT Strands Today (Game #64) – The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #64, are…
- LETTER
- BILL
- MAGAZINE
- POSTCARD
- INVITATION
- PACKAGE
- SNAPRAM: SNAILMAIL
- My score: Moderate
- My score: Perfect
While this Strands puzzle isn’t incredibly difficult, it does have a harder spangram than most. SNAILMAIL as a term is now used relatively widely, sure, but it still seems much more informal than we are used to from Strands.
Otherwise it’s not too bad. I really struggled to find MAGAZINE – it just wasn’t something I saw as a mail-delivered item – but POSTCARD, PACKAGE and LETTER were all pretty easy.
