NYT Strands today (game #155) - the answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #155, are…
- MONEYED
- WEALTHY
- OPULENT
- AFFLUENT
- PROSPEROUS
- SPANGRAM: THATSRICH
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 3 hints
Today's Strands was a really tough one that I needed lots of hints for – three, to be exact. The first got me started, because I had zero idea what 'Rolling in it' referred to. That gave me MONEYED (although it took me a while to work out what the word was even once the Strands board had highlighted it for me), but though the concept was now clear, the other words weren't.
To make matters worse, I spotted RICH fairly early on, but couldn't work out what the rest of the phrase was to (presumably) make the spangram. I eventually solved THATSRICH at the end by default, having used two further hints to uncover OPULENT and AFFLUENT.
