NYT Strands today (game #727) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #727, are…
- DRESS
- TUXEDO
- TIE
- HEELS
- CUFFLINKS
- DIAMONDS
- SPANGRAM: GLAMOR
- My rating: Hard
- My rating: 1 clue
You could say it’s the result of failure and never attending a fancy event, but I’m glad I never had to wear any of the things considered GLAMOR in today’s search – and frankly, I find it weird that HEELS, CUFFLINKS, and DIAMONDS are still considered as such.
Anyway, I digress. Most likely uninspired by today’s theme, I struggled to get started and figured out a clue after finding many non-gaming words, with GOWN putting me on the right track.
Of course, I should have spotted TUXEDO sooner, with the rare letter
