NYT Strands today (game #202) - the answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #202, are…
- ARENA
- STADIUM
- NIGHTCLUB
- THEATER
- FESTIVAL
- SPANGRAM: CONCERTVENUE
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: 1 hint
I've marked this one as moderate simply because I couldn't get started without a hint; the theme clue of 'I've got the music in me!' seemed too obtuse, despite the fact that with hindsight it was really rather obvious. Once I asked for help and was given ARENA it all became much easier, and I ticked off the likes of STADIUM, NIGHTCLUB and THEATER with no issues.
