NYT Strands #919 Hints and Answers for Sept. 8

Each morning, a small puzzle arrives to test not just vocabulary, but the particular knowledge a life has accumulated. The New York Times Strands for September 8th asks solvers to revisit the elementary classroom — desks, cubbies, globes, and all — reminding us that the rooms where we first learned to read and write leave impressions that last long enough to surface in a word game decades later. Difficulty, it turns out, is rarely about the letters themselves, but about whether the world the puzzle inhabits is one you have ever known.
