  "account": "Today's NYT Strands puzzle (#962) features a theme on higher levels, with words such as stork, yurt, acorn, thug, bone and boots. The spangram, which runs through the middle of the board, is 10 letters long and appears in the attic. The words BOXES, LUGGAGE, TRUNKS, YEARBOOKS and DECORATIONS can be found in the puzzle, while the spangram is INTHEATTIC. The game is rated easy and I scored perfectly.",
