NYT Strands today (game #558) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times) The answers to today's Strands, game #558, are VINTAGE AGELESS ANTIQUE HISTORIC ENDURING SPANGRAM: TIME HONORED My rating: Hard My score: Perfect After yesterdays short and sweet game, we returned to a more complex search today with a series of tricky words. The first one I spotted today was VINTAGE, something that used to have negative connotations but which today is very much seen in the same realm as classic. This discovery led me to AGELESS, a dangerous concept that leads many to believe that appearance is the sole marker of time and quality. Unusually, the spangram was the last thing that I connected although I had tapped on TIME as a non-game word. A great game today, although far from HISTORIC.
