NYT Strands today (game #426) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times) The answers to today's Strands, game #426, are GAUZE TAPE SYRINGE STETHOSCOPE THERMOMETER SPANGRAM: DOCTORS KIT My rating: Hard My score: 2 hints After a run of easy editions todays Strands presented a challenge well, it did for me at least. I had to resort to a couple of hints to complete the puzzle and was presented with two piles of letters that ended up being STETHOSCOPE and THERMOMETER. They should have gone all the way and included a sphygmomanometer. Todays theme did, of course, trigger memories of pretending to be badly injured so that my daughters could rush me to their cardboard ER and perform a variety of experimental surgical procedures on me with their plastic DOCTORS KIT. Fortunately, I survived without too many scars. How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.
