NYT Strands today (game #780) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #780, are…
- REPAIR
- RECYCLE
- DONATE
- REFILL
- REUSE
- REDUCE
- SPANGRAM: CONSERVATION
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
Today, is of course Earth Day, an annual event where we all, as a human race, can show our support for the environment by behaving sustainably and thinking about how we can protect the planet for the future. Not blowing it up would be a good start, perhaps.
Despite the theme being obvious I was quite slow to get going today and saw plenty of words that I should have clocked as game words.
In fact, I saw “repaid” before I saw REPAIR, “conserve” before the spangram CONSERVATION and “cycle” before RECYCLE.
Unlike previous games this one was decidedly lacking in ridiculously long words — perhaps the game makers were choosing not to be wasteful with their letters.
Yesterday’s NYT Strands answers (Tuesday, April 21, game #779)

- INTREPID
- GUTSY
