NYT Strands today (game #350) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #350, are…
- ALMOND
- CORN
- RICE
- BUCKWHEAT
- TAPIOCA
- CHICKPEA
- SPANGRAM: GLUTEN FREE
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: 2 hints
An educational Strands for me as I didn’t know there were so many GLUTEN FREE flours – CHICKPEA I knew about, but the others were news to me, especially TAPIOCA, as I associate that with the world’s most disgusting pudding (fight me, tapioca fans).
Originally I thought that we were just looking for cakes, as the first three words I got were ALMOND, CORN and RICE, and it took me BUCKWHEAT before I realized otherwise.
Right, this has made me feel hungry and in need of a power up.
