NYT Strands today (game #164) - the answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #164, are…
- RANCH
- BUNGALOW
- CRAFTSMAN
- COLONIAL
- CABIN
- COTTAGE
- SPANGRAM: HOUSES
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
I found this Strands puzzle a little harder than most people will – or at least those of you playing in the United States. That's because not all of these styles of HOUSES are common outside of the US; I'd never heard of CRAFTSMAN, for instance, and the likes of RANCH and COLONIAL are not terms that would be used here in the UK (though I had heard of them). Fortunately the others were pretty simple, as was the spangram itself, so I was able to uncover them all without too many problems.
