NYT Strands today (game #847) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #847, are…
- PARADE
- RAINBOW
- HANG OUT
- RALLY
- FLAGS
- CELEBRATION
- SPANGRAM: PRIDE MONTH
- My rating: Easy
- My rating: Perfect
March in June shocked me at first because I was thinking about March, then I realized that the march in question was supposed to be a parade and, sure enough, June became synonymous with Pride, so PRIDEMONTH and PARADE magically appeared.
I then had RAINBOW, a bit tricky as it involved reading backwards, before slowly going through the board.
Pride marches began in 1970 to mark the anniversary of the Stonewall uprising in New York, but it took another 20 years before Bill Clinton declared June “gay and lesbian month.” 36 years later, it seems more important than ever.
