NYT Strands Today (Game #336) - The Answers
The answers to today's Strands, game #336, are…
SWIFT, WONDER, HILL, CROSS, STYLES, KING, JONES
Spangram: GRAMMY WINNERS
My Rating: Easy
My Score: Perfect
This collection of Album of the Year winners omits a few other artists whose names are also words – Beck, Plant (Robert), and Garland (Judy) failing to make the cut.
Meanwhile, JONES could refer to both Norah (who won a Grammy in 2003 for Come Away With Me) and Quincy (whose Back on the Block was a surprise success in 1991). Quincy Jones is also one of only three artists who have won Grammys as an artist and as a producer, the others being Lauryn HILL and Bruno Mars.
Taylor SWIFT holds the record for most Album of the Year victories with four and is among the nominees this year for The Tortured Poets Department.
