NYT Strands today (game #195) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #195, are…
- BELT
- HANDBAG
- SCARF
- JEWELRY
- WATCH
- GLASSES
- SPANGRAM: ACCESSORIZING
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
Anyone who knows me will be aware that fashion is not my strong suit. I just do not care about it. So the concept of ACCESSORIZING is a little alien to me – I just wear jeans and a t-shirt, I don’t need to add anything to that. Despite this inherent disadvantage, I managed to solve this Stands puzzle pretty easily – because it is indeed pretty easy.
I’m not sure that the theme clue, Elements of style, gave me much help, but finding BELT and HANDBAG by accident definitely did, and after that is was simply a question of wracking my brains for things that fashionable people might wear. After a bit more time than I probably should have needed, I got them all.
