NYT Strands today (game #358) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #358, are…
- WADDLE
- SKIP
- MOSEY
- STROLL
- STRUT
- SHUFFLE
- TIP TOE
- SPANGRAM: GET MOVING
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: 1 hint
I think it says a lot about my speed of travel that WADDLE was the first word I got in today’s puzzle.
It takes a certain kind of person to pull off a STRUT. In essence they have to have some “funky stuff” to strut, which is something I’ve never been in possession of. Hats off to you though if you do.
A MOSEY, on the other hand, is something everyone can do regardless of their legwear or athletic ability. In many ways it’s like a strut, except slower – much, much, slower. Those who mosey are in no particular hurry, they’re gonna stop and look in windows for as long as they damn well please and are utterly free from the arrows of judgement. They may or may not have some “funky stuff”, but they are having far too much of a relaxing time to reveal it.
Anyway, I digress, what a pleasant STROLL of a Strands.
