NYT Strands today (game #93) – the answers

The answers to today’s Strands, game #93, are…

• WATCH
• LEARN
• DIVIDE
• CONQUER
• FORGIVE
• FORGET
• SPANGRAM: USEFULADVICE

• My rating: Moderate
• My score: One hint

I always struggle in Strands when the theme is abstract, as it is today. USEFUL ADVICE – the spangram – sums up part of the challenge here, with the theme clue of ‘Purposeful pairs’ telling the rest of the story. 

I got that I needed pairs, that bit was easy. But the purposeful side of it was harder to work out and I was essentially stumbling around in the dark until I eventually used a hint up. That gave me WATCH, at which point the task became a lot easier. LEARN immediately revealed itself to me, and once I spotted DIVIDE it was easy to claim CONQUER too. By that stage the spangram was also apparent, and I solved the rest of the puzzle with no fuss.
