  "account": "The New York Times Strands puzzle for September 16, #927, features the theme of \"Hard not to notice,\" which translates to \"showy or glitzy.\" The objective is to uncover hidden words that adhere to this theme. Players can earn hints by identifying four or more-letter words on the board. For every three such words found, Strands will highlight one of the answers related to the theme. The puzzle also includes a \"spangram,\" a word that spans the entire grid, which in this case is EYECATCHING. To locate this word, start with the initial E in the top row and navigate down, over, and down again. The remaining answers are scattered throughout the grid, all of which must be identified to complete the puzzle.",
