  "account": "Today's New York Times Strands puzzle is themed around \"A little comic relief.\" The theme words, Doonesbury or Cathy, are clues to help you identify the hidden words. The objective is to find as many words of four or more letters as possible; every time you discover three such words, Strands will unveil one of the theme words. Among the answers, one word, THEFUNNYPAGES, is a spangram, running from one side of the puzzle to the other. To locate it, begin at the T in the far left column, move downward, across, and then downward once more.",
