NYT Strands today (game #368) - the answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #368, are…
- MATCH
- LIKE
- CHAT
- GHOST
- PROFILE
- SWIPE
- MEETUP
- SPANGRAM: ONLINE DATING
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
After initially taking the theme literally and looking for app names, this puzzle revealed itself very easily and was all over quicker than a SWIPE left.
Despite having zero experience of ONLINE DATING, the terminology is commonplace and through friends and family I’ve experienced many of the perils and psychological trauma of dating apps, as well as the happiness they bring.
My friend met their partner via an app, despite years of bad mouthing them, after about five minutes of setting up his profile. Even more ridiculously lucky, it was their first time using an app, too, and his was the first picture they clicked on. They’re made for each other and I doubt they would have met any other way.
How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.
