NYT Strands today (game #154) - the answers

NYT Strands today — hints, answers and spangram for Sunday, August 4 (game #154) (3)

The answers to today's Strands, game #154, are…

  • RING
  • MIDDLE
  • PALM
  • PINKY
  • THUMB
  • CUTICLE
  • NAIL
  • POINTER
  • SPANGRAM: ONHAND
  • My rating: Easy
  • My score: Perfect

This is another easy Strands, made simpler still by the theme clue giving the game away before you'd even started. After all, 'In glove' can't really refer to anything other than the hand – and if, like me, you found RING or MIDDLE or PALM early on, you'll have had that theme confirmed right away.

I doubt the whole thing took me more than about three minutes, and only CUTICLE caused me any trouble, purely because for some reason I needed a couple of attempts to spell it!

He's also a former editor of the tech website Stuff and spent five years at the music magazine NME, where his duties mainly involved spoiling other people’s fun.

He also enjoys live music, gaming, cycling, and beating Wordle (he authors the daily Wordle today page).
