NYT Strands today (game #399) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #399, are…
- CLICK
- RELATE
- MESH
- CONNECT
- VIBE
- HARMONIZE
- AGREE
- SPANGRAM: GET ALONG
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
A very easy wordsearch today which fit perfectly with the theme — I was sad not to find simpatico, one of my favorite words which would most definitely HARMONIZE with the others.
When we think about things that GET ALONG we are usually thinking about people – friends and family (well, mainly friends).
But it’s true of animals too, particularly pets. My two cats didn’t get on for about two years, but some truce appears to have been agreed and now they sleep squished up against each other.
It can also be true of technology, of course – for years Macs and Windows did not talk to each other, now the lines between them are blurred and I work seamlessly across both systems. Well, sort of seamlessly.
How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.
