  "account": "The New York Times' word-search game Strands provides players with daily hints and answers. Today's theme is centered around the idea that things can break apart. Players must look for words formed by linked letters in various directions, creating unique shapes and patterns. Every letter in the grid is a part of an answer. One distinctive feature of Strands is the spangram, a word or phrase that spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically and encapsulates the day's theme. The spangram for today is horizontal. An example of a word related to the theme is \"beyond repair.\" For those who need assistance, multiple hints are available to help progress at their desired speed.",
