The answers to today's Strands, game #271, are CHILL RELAX UNWIND PAUSE LOAF 
LOUNGE LUXURIATE SPANGRAM: DOWNTIME My rating: Moderate My score: 1 hint 

This was a harder Strands puzzle than many, and for that I give it praise. 
Nobody wants a game that's so easy it becomes formulaic, so kudos to the NYT 
team for this one, which needed a bit more thought than the type that merely 
involve naming objects in a particular group. 

Sure, the theme here  words for DOWNTIME  is no more complex than some of the 
others, but unless you're a walking thesaurus you'll have needed to get that 
old gray matter working in order to find them all. As it happens, I needed a 
hint halfway through; I simply ran out of synonyms after CHILL, RELAX, UNWIND 
and PAUSE. Once I had the spangram things got a lot easier, as is usually the 
case, and I finished a few minutes later so I could go and LUXURIATE or LOAF 
elsewhere
