NYT Strands today (game #128) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #128, are…
- SCULPTURE
- PAINTING
- COLLAGE
- LITHOGRAPH
- MURAL
- SPANGRAM: ARTMUSEUM
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
Confession: I had never heard the term ‘art museum’ before today. It’s possible that I’m an uneducated heathen who has no knowledge of the finer arts, but I suspect it’s more a language barrier thing. I _think_ that the term art gallery is more widely used here in the UK – it’s certainly what I’d use to describe the likes of the Tate in London. Or maybe I’m just an educated heathen.
Anyway, that confusion aside, I solved this without any real problems. The theme clue left little doubt as to what was needed, and as soon as I found SCULPTURE I was up and running and on the hunt for more. It was only the spangram – due to the aforementioned gallery/museum confusion – and LITHOGRAPH (because it’s a long and complicated word) that delayed me completing it in record time.
