NYT Strands Today – Hints, Answers & Spangram for July 22

It wasn’t the easiest puzzle for today, and I had to use one hint to get through. After staring at the grid for five minutes, I had a breakthrough with CANOE at the bottom right and KAYAK above it. Then, I accidentally stumbled upon DORY at the bottom left. But then, I found myself stuck. So, I decided to use a hint and found DINGHY right above Dory.

Next, I found the word Board, but it took me a minute to connect the remaining letters and make PADDLEBOARD. One step closer to the end. With most of the answers marked on the grid, it was easy to spot today’s Spangram, WATERCRAFT. Finally, I linked the letters to make GONDOLA to end my not so great effort today.
