NYT Strands today (game #753) - the answers

NYT Strands answers for game 753 on a blue background

The answers to today's Strands, game #753, are…

FLUTE
HARMONICA
RECORDER
CLARINET
OBOE
SPANGRAM: WINDINSTRUMENT

My rating: Easy
My score: Perfect

This was a long and short day, with the 14-letter spangram, WINDINSTRUMENT, being as long as words get and and four-letter game word OBOE being the shortest.

Although I began by thinking the search could involve failure, FLUTE was an easy spot in the top-left-hand corner and set me off on a search for similar instruments.

I did not learn the RECORDER at school but enjoy its unique ability, much like the bagpipes, to sound simultaneously in and out of tune.
