At first, the “better with age” NYT Strands might seem to be about cheese, wine, or George Clooney. Since making the whole puzzle about actors would be old-fashioned, it’s actually about food that gets better instead of stale as days pass. Here are some tips.
Better with Age Strands Spangram tips and answer (June 3)
Today’s Strands hit me right in the face with an answer straight in the top row, from left to right. It’s a word you’ve probably heard of at least once. While finding it is a good start, figuring out the rest can be complicated, especially since the Spangram doesn’t seem to include “food.” If you’re stuck, I recommend looking for any word on the board to unlock a hint. Think about a process that most aged food and drinks undergo that makes them taste better.
The “better with age” Spangram goes left to right.
The characteristic of something that underwent a natural chemical process caused by microorganisms.
The “better with age” Spangram is “FERMENTED,” spanning from the “F” in the left column to the “D” in the right column. This means every word on the board is a product that goes through fermentation to be made.
