NYT Strands today (game #567) – the answers

The answers to today’s Strands, game #567, are…

SPANGRAM: SOLIDARITY

My rating: Easy
My score: Perfect

“Stand by me” could have referred to the Ben E King song or the 1987 film starring River Phoenix. Instead, we were looking for words that describe the act of standing by someone and offering them SUPPORT at a time of need.

I digress, but in Googling the film Stand By Me I noticed that its runtime was one hour and 27 minutes, something that seems incredible today in our era of ultra-long movies and similarly ultra-long TV episodes. The length of a movie is a big deciding factor for me in whether I will bother to go to a theater to see it or not. Too long and I’ll usually duck out.
Fortunately, my attention span was less challenged by today’s Strands, which – disregarding some lengthy words – was a straightforward affair.
