NYT Strands today (game #923) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #923, are…
- LIBERATE
- FREE
- RELEASE
- DETACH
- UNLOOSE
- SPANGRAM: LETITGO
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 1 hint
I didn’t understand today’s theme at first and even after spotting LIBERATE I still needed a hint (FREE) before I finally got going.
I first heard of the phrase LETITGO in the 1990s, when a Buddhist rapper explained the concept to me and how it had helped them deal with fame and pressure.
Initially, I’d thought it was about possessions rather than feelings, but it’s a philosophy I adhere to in the main. That said, in my opinion, certain people in the world deserve all the negative energy we can fire in their direction — letting it go would just be letting them off the hook.
