The answers to today’s Strands, game #613, are…
- MAGIC
- ENGINE
- WINDY
- EMERALD
- ETERNAL
- MUSIC
- GOLDEN
- SPANGRAM: NICKNAME
- My rating: Easy
- My rating: Partial
The theme didn’t reveal much today, but after discovering MAGIC, I guessed we were looking for the NICKNAME of a handful of famous cities.
MOTOR and WINDY were my next obvious cities that I looked for, but I struggled a bit after that before finding EMERALD and ETERNAL.
Of course, the second part of today’s Strands is to name all the towns. I got six out of seven, wrongly guessing that Emerald City was referring to Miami. How many do you know?
