NYT Strands today (Game No. 164) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, Game No. 164, are…
- RANCH
- BUNGALOW
- HANDYMAN
- COLONIAL
- CABIN
- HUT
- SPANGRAM: HOUSES
- My rating: Simply
- My result: Perfect
I found this Strands puzzle a little harder than most people – or at least those of you playing in the United States. That’s because not all of these house styles are common outside the US; I’d never heard of CRAFTSMAN, for example, and terms like RANCH and COLONIAL wouldn’t be used here in the UK (although I’d heard of them). Fortunately, the others were pretty easy, as was the Spangram itself, so I was able to uncover them all without too much trouble.
