NYT Strands today (game #124) – the answers

The answers to today’s Strands, game #124, are…

• TELL
• UTTER
• TALK
• SIGN
• SPEAK
• EXPRESS
• DECLARE
• SPANGRAM: ARTICULATION

• My rating: Easy
• My score: Perfect

This is a fairly easy Strands puzzle that simply involves finding words that mean ‘to articulate’. The theme clue went a long way to giving the game away, so once I discovered TELL I was up and running. The likes of TALK and UTTER were easy to uncover, too, and only the spangram really complicated matters, simply because it’s a long and complex word.
