NYT Strands today (game #756) – the answers

The answers to today’s Strands, game #756, are…

• INSECTS
• SUET
• FRUIT
• MILLET
• BERRIES
• NECTAR
• SEEDS
• SPANGRAM: FOR THE BIRDS

• My rating: Easy
• My rating: Perfect

As someone who is always “a bit of a sweet tooth,” this search could have been for anything from chips to fruit salad to Turkish banquet.

Instead, we looked for foods related to our feathered friends. Discovering spangram early in the game helped alleviate my initial confusion after first finding BUGS and SUET – two items not on my snack menu.

I managed to navigate the board quite easily, struggling solely on the combination of NECTAR and SEEDS – and I was also delighted to spot a rare non-game-related eight-letter word.
