NYT Strands today (game #863) - the answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #863, are…
- CHAIR
- ROCKER
- BEANBAG
- OTTOMAN
- RECLINER
- THRONE
- SPANGRAM: HAVEASEAT
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
Today’s search takes from the high-born of the seating world (THRONE), to the lowest (BEANBAG).
If I am going to make myself comfortable then I would pick the BEANBAG any day. Although it does depend on how long you’ve owned it; a baggy bean bag is nobody’s friend. Having said that, I’ve not sat in many thrones. Or indeed any, but judging by House of the Dragon, they’re not particularly ergonomic.
Anyway, it was hard not to whizz around today’s game, with even the longest and most obscure word, OTTOMAN, being easy to spot thanks to the double T.
Yesterday's NYT Strands answers (Monday, July 13, game #862)

- DELIGHTFUL
