NYT Strands today (game #735) - the answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #735, are…
- CLOCK
- SPRING
- HOUR
- LOSING
- SLEEP
- FORWARD
- SPANGRAM: DAYLIGHTSAVINGS
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
While I appreciate that all of the words in today's Strands are related to DAYLIGHT SAVINGS, some of them feel a bit of a stretch. HOUR? Well yes, you lose an hour – but on its own it's a little unconnected to the rest of the words. Ditto LOSING. Maybe they're pairs – as in SPRING FORWARD, LOSING HOUR… but then the other two would be CLOCK SLEEP, which makes no sense.
That aside, this wasn't too tough to solve, and was certainly more enjoyable than the clocks going forward actually is: I never look forward to the annual battle to get the oven clock set to the correct time…
