It’s yet another new daily word game from the New York Times! This time we’ve got to find a collection of thematically-related words, plus their “spangram” that describes the theme. I don’t know if I’ll be solving this every day but I’m giving it a shot for now at least. We’ll see how it goes. Let me know how you like it!

Oh gosh this was such a difficult one, definitely bumped against the limits of my vocab!
“This would be pretty difficult if you didn’t know anything about reading music.” Yup 😅
I got sharp and natural and I’m hitting myself how long it took for me to figure out the rest 😂😂
This is literally my forte (hah)
I came here early to find out what the hell that was all about😭
Easy one for me growing up as a lifelong musician but definitely would be next to impossible for the non musically inclined.
I still can’t do it and I’ve used three hints. I know nothing about musixn
I found sharp, but couldn't figure out the theme and just abandoned. Yet, while watching the video I still saw measure immediately after Chris tried treasure.
I think they dropped the ball here with such a short spangram. If they had a longer one they could have made it look like a music note.
I needed a home to get the ball rolling on this one.
I need to used hints. Altought after finished I knew almost everything: flat, sharp, natural, rest, signature.
Measure for this context is new. And clef… in PT-BR is "clave" and here I know what it means, but clef is a new word. 😊
I would have bet that you'd have sailed right through this one 😅

Took me longer than 5 minutes to settle on what kind of Staff this was. I saw "natural first, but I had to find "sharp" before things clicked 🎶
I got 'sharp' straight away and though "oh dear i know what the theme is and I'm screwed".
Oof, I had no chance with this one.
