NYT Strands today — hints, answers and spangram for Sunday, June 23 (game #112)

Sunday is always a good day to play Strands, because in my house at least there’s more of a lazy, do-nothing feel to things. If only all days could be like that, eh? Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy today’s instalment very much. Hopefully your experience is different.

The *********-centric nature of Strands can be a little frustrating sometimes. Yes, the game appears in a New York newspaper, so I understand that there’s going to be a bias that way, but a puzzle like today’s is just no fun for people outside of the US.

The theme – I think – is chain restaurants, although that being the case I have no idea why the spangram is CHAINLINK. What’s the ‘link’ bit refer to? And why is SUBWAY in there, when it’s a sandwich shop, not a restaurant? Maybe they’re all just chain eateries, rather than restaurants… And are SONIC and SIZZLER and OUTBACK and CHECKERS that well known? Maybe they are in the States – but they’re not exactly Burger King. CHILIS was the only one I’d heard of, SUBWAY aside, and that was only thanks to The Office.

Anyway, I solved it all, by trial and error, but had zero fun in doing so. Maybe I’m expecting too much, but it’s a shame Strands is not more inclusive in the way that Wordle usually is.
