NYT Strands today (game #759) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #759, are…
- QUIET
- HUSHED
- SILENT
- NOISELESS
- INAUDIBLE
- SPANGRAM: SHHHHHHHHHHHH
- My rating: Hard
- My score: Perfect
Seeing all the Hs on the board made me think that today’s game was some kind of April Fool’s joke, but I went ahead and connected them all anyway and ended up with the 13-letter spangram.
Incidentally, there is no standard for the number of Hs in today’s spangram, but it’s generally accepted to be four, so Strands is overdoing it just a bit.
Beyond the Hs, the only other easy thing today was the word QUIET, thanks to the hard-to-hide letter Q.

- WINGS
