NYT Strands today (game #524) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #524, are…
- CORKSCREW
- SPATULA
- MIXER
- ZESTER
- SIEVE
- WHISK
- SPANGRAM: KITCHEN TOOL
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
The first thing I did today was to search for the word “kitchen”, as it seemed obvious that it was what “Gastronomic gadgets” was referring to.
I found it quickly enough, but it wasn’t as straightforward as I thought it would be and it took me a while to see KITCHEN TOOL. Thinking we were looking for a plural theme, I even had kitchen tools ahead of the correct spangram.
Beyond this, the rest of the words were hidden in plain sight, but I particularly enjoyed CORKSCREW revealing itself corkscrew-style.
