NYT Strands today (game #233) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #233, are…

- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
The theme clues for Strands can sometimes give away too much, and today was one of those days. ‘Cool color!’ screamed the hint, so clearly it was going to be shades of a particular color; ‘cool’ made it obvious it would be blue.
That didn’t make finding them all that simple of course, because though I got COBALT and AZURE near the top of the board early, then uncovered TURQUOISE by focusing on what the Q could go with, I got a little stuck for a while after that. I could see the word BLUE in the middle of the board and figured it would be part of the spangram, but it took me a while to establish that I needed THEBLUES. The other answers slotted into place fairly easily after that.
