It’s been a while since The New York Times experimented with its yellow and blue color palette for Strands, so seeing the many shades of green today added a unique element to the look.
After first getting FLAG and PARTY, I still thought the eight words would all be St. Patrick’s Day related, but I quickly put that aside after finding GODDESS and realizing what the real theme was.
I zoomed through the game until the last two words, where I guessed “dock” before ROOM and found myself letter blind because of the three P’s in PEPPER.
