NYT Strands today (game #205) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #205, are…
- MARTIAN
- CYBORG
- DROID
- MUTANT
- ROBOT
- ALIEN
- SPANGRAM: SCIENCEFICTION
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
I probably found this Strands game to be even easier than most given that I’ve been reading SCIENCEFICTION, as the spangram would have it, for about four decades. But even if I hadn’t I doubt I would have struggled too much here. Some of the words are slightly, well, basic for the topic – as I said, I read a lot of sci-fi and MUTANTS and MARTIANS really don’t crop up that much compared to plenty of other themes, such as time-travel, space flight, AI and the cyberverse. But as a child’s guide to the genre, it just about works.
