  "account": "Today's NYT Strands hints revolve around shady areas. The game, a twist on the classic word search, requires players to make words from linked letters in various directions. Every letter in the grid is part of an answer, and there's always a theme linking all solutions along with the spangram, a word or phrase that sums up the day's theme. The spangram runs horizontally or vertically across the grid.\n\nThe hint for today's theme is \"Over and outside.\" The words linked to the theme pertain to sun coverings found in gardens or parks. The spangram for today is diagonal.",
