The answers to today’s Strands game #252 are…

JUMP
CIVIL
STRONG
BUSINESS
BIRTHDAY
LEISURE TIME
SPANGRAM: WELL SUITABLE

My rating: Moderate
My score: 2 notes

I quite often disagree with the NYT’s choice of topic reference. This may be unfair, because as I know from experience, it can be very difficult to think of a helpful hint without giving the game away. But even with that in mind, the “good fit” choice here seems a bit misleading. Finally, “nice fit” works perfectly for the Spangram WELLSUITED and for some of today’s answers – for example LEISURE and JUMP. But it doesn’t work at all for CIVIL or BIRTHDAY; While these are types of suits, they don’t fit well in any way. STRONG can be – if something is your strength, it suits you well. But especially CIVIL… no, another reference was needed here.

This led me down the wrong path here, and it took me two clues to realize that all the answers were color types. Once I knew it was pretty easy to find the others. And maybe that’s why it’s for the best that the clue threw me off – otherwise I probably would have had a perfect game again, and that gets boring after a while…
