  "account": "New York Times' Strands puzzle, game #889, featured the theme of luxury and extravagance on August 9. Clues for the words included RANG, WRATH, FRIED, RULER, FLIRTED, and THERE. The spangram, a single word that spans the entire grid vertically or horizontally, had 9 letters and touched the left side of the board in the first row and the right side of the board in the fourth row. The spangram's letters formed the word IMWORTHIT. The answers to the puzzle were LUXURY, EXTRAVAGANCE, TREAT, INDULGENCE, and FRILLS, with the spangram being IMWORTHIT.",
