NYT Strands today (game #764) - the answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #764, are…
- EDGE
- EXTREMITY
- BRINK
- VERGE
- MARGIN
- BOUNDARY
- SPANGRAM: OUTERLIMITS
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 1 hint
Thinking the “fringe group” was some kind of hair-based pun, I was certain that “trim” would be my first word.
Instead, after getting EDGE following a hint, I soon discovered that the theme was referring to the OUTERLIMITS (also the name of a great 1990s sci-fi series, by the way) of things.
It is so strange with Strands that a little kickstart is all you need to see all the rest of the words you are looking for, a feeling that simultaneously makes you feel smart for seeing them all amid the letter soup and dumb for not spotting them originally.
