NYT Strands today (game #308) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #308, are…
- SNOW
- SLEET
- FROST
- BLIZZARD
- PUGINA
- FRUITS
- SPANGRAM: WINTER WEATHER
- My rating: Easy going
- My score: Perfect
The two pairs of Z’s in today’s puzzle (there’s another one) make things much easier – although I had to stop thinking that Freeze would be one of the words.
Mizzle is a particularly British type of WINTER WEATHER that could join the double Z gang – it’s like a drizzle with added mist and it’s very, erm, mizz-erable. In some parts of the UK they call it Scotch Mist, which sounds much more romantic.
I wonder if BLIZZARD could it also have a misty variant – Mizzard? – but he doesn’t seem to have caught on. However, I noticed that on YouTube a nine-second video of a lizard wizard in a storm has 40,000 views.
