NYT Strands today (game #294) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #294, are…
- SNOW
- BELLS
- GLISTENING
- WALKING
- SLEIGH
- SPANGRAM: WINTER WONDERLAND
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
Taking words from the first verse of WINTER WONDERLAND made today’s Strands a breeze – and I’m sure you were singing about Parson Brown by the time you completed it.
It’s one of those songs that’s hard to ruin, which makes it the perfect karaoke song – perfect except for the fact that it only really works for one month a year.
In the UK, it’s a song that’s been co-opted by soccer fans, who will change the words to fit their star striker with a few variations to fit the club and player. For example, in Scotland in the 1990s Celtic fans would honor goalscorer Jorge Cadete with the chant:
“There’s only one Jorge Cadete / He puts the ball in the netty / He’s Portuguese / and he scores with ease / Walking in a Jorge Wonderland.”
Erm, what I was saying about being a song that’s hard to ruin… I take it back.
