  "account": "The New York Times' elevated word-search game, Strands, offers a brain-teasing challenge on November 14, 2026. Unlike its counterparts like Wordle and Connections, Strands requires players to discover words in linked letters, changing directions, and creating unique shapes and patterns. Every letter in the grid contributes to an answer, with a theme linking all solutions and a spangram—a special word or phrase spanning the entire grid horizontally or vertically.\n\nFor today's game, the hint is geared towards parents, with words related to games played by children. The spangram for the day is oriented horizontally. The NYT Strands spangram answer for November 14 is \"Follow the Leader.\"\n\nThe list of words for this puzzle includes \"Tiptoe,\" \"Spin,\" \"Gallop,\" \"Follow the Leader,\" \"March,\" \"Skip,\" \"Walk,\" \"Jump,\" and \"Meet.\" These words are all tied to the theme of games popular among preschoolers.",
