and the spangram was CAFEMENU.Strands #415“Counter offers”💡🔵🟡🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵Hi Strands fans. A clever theme from the NYT puzzle setters today.
Of course, "Counter offers" makes you think about negotiation, when it's actually about what you can buy over the counter in a deli or cafe.Unfortunately, I didn't make that connection by myself, and only cottoned on when my clue revealed CHAI in the top-right corner. Right, so this was going to be about hot drinks, presumably? In any case, I connected the spangram of CAFEMENU across the board before looking for more options.
I found ESPRESSO below the spangram on the right-hand side, before then finding SANDWICHES in the top-left corner to widen the search for foods as well as drinks. I then located JUICES in the bottom-right corner - slightly annoying, because I'd already incorrectly connected "juice" (as a singular) earlier.Two words were left to find in the bottom-left corner.
I connected SOUP at the top of the section first, and that just left PASTRIES below it to complete the puzzle.Yesterday's Strands answersReading this in a later time zone? You can find the full article on yesterday's Strands answers for game #414 right here..
