NYT Strands today (game #112) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times) The answers to today's Strands, game #112, are CHILIS SIZZLER CHECKERS SUBWAY OUTBACK SONIC SPANGRAM: CHAINLINK My rating: Frustrating My score: Perfect The American-centric nature of Strands can be a little frustrating sometimes. Yes, the game appears in a New York newspaper, so I understand that there's going to be a bias that way, but a puzzle like today's is just no fun for people outside of the US. The theme I think is chain restaurants, although that being the case I have no idea why the spangram is CHAINLINK. What's the 'link' bit refer to? And why is SUBWAY in there, when it's a sandwich shop, not a restaurant? Maybe they're all just chain eateries, rather than restaurants And are SONIC and SIZZLER and OUTBACK and CHECKERS that well known? Maybe they are in the States but they're not exactly Burger King. CHILIS was the only one I'd heard of, SUBWAY aside, and that was only thanks to The Office . Anyway, I solved it all, by trial and error, but had zero fun in doing so. Maybe I'm expecting too much, but it's a shame Strands is not more inclusive in the way that Wordle usually is. How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.
