Happy Thanksgiving to those of you in the US! Today’s Strands provides a nice contrast with Connections, another daily NYT puzzler; where that one uses Thanksgiving as a fiendish way to throw solvers off the scent, Strands plays it straight, merely asking people to find words associated with the holiday.
There’s nothing wrong with that of course, but it’s unlikely that it will ever provide a real challenge, and I do wonder if Strands has a long-term future. Anyway, even a Brit like me was able to solve this one, though I will admit that I had no idea ROLLS or YAMS were part of the Thanksgiving feast. But I knew enough to get started, and was able to find the others through trial and error with no mishaps.
