The context is some people are building a spaghetti tower. I heard they saying “we haven’t cranked 90 degrees yet.” Does “crank” make sense here? Perhaps it misheard it. Thanks.

Cracked. Reaching a goal or solution, or sometimes a step on the way to a goal or solution.

Cranking 90s is a term from the video game Fortnite, in which you can build structures. It's a method to get high ground quickly. You can search for cranking 90s and fortnite and find plenty of explainers. If it's young kids, they may have been joking. If it's architectural students, cracked 90 degrees is probably right.
