  "account": "New York Times' (NYT) Strands puzzle, game #932, appeared on Monday, September 21. The game features a daily theme, and the theme for today was the 1990s. The clues provided included the words CAUSING, STAR, GRUNT, RING, DARK, RETURN, which unlocked the in-game hints system. Players are given the option to play any of these words to receive assistance in solving the puzzle.\n\nThere is a spangram in the puzzle, which is a word that spans the entire board. The spangram in today's Strands puzzle has 13 letters and touches two sides of the board - the left side in the 2nd row and the left side in the 8th row. The spangram is NINETIESTREND.\n\nTo solve today's Strands puzzle, players needed to think about the theme of the 1990s and find words connected to that decade. Some players found clues easier, while others struggled to find suitable words. Once they had the correct answers, they could complete the puzzle.",
