ForbesNYT Strands Hints Today: Friday, May 1 Clues And Answers (I Love Hawaii)
A puzzle full of easy words and yet the category absolutely is not, so we’ll see how you do.
The New York Times’ Strands puzzle is a play on the classic word search. It’s in beta for now, which means it’ll only stick around if enough people play it every day.
There’s a new game of Strands to play every day. The game will present you with a six by eight grid of letters. The aim is to find a group of words that have something in common, and you’ll get a clue as to what that theme is. When you find a theme word, it will remain highlighted in blue.
You’ll also need to find a special word called a spangram. This tells you what the words have in common. The spangram links two opposite sides of the board. While the theme words will not be a proper name, the spangram can be a proper name. When you find the spangram, it will remain highlighted in yellow.
Be warned: You’ll need to be on your toes.
“Some themes are fill-in-the-blank phrases. They may also be steps in a process, items that all belong to the same category, synonyms or homophones,” The New York Times notes. “Just as she varies the difficulty of Wordle puzzles within a week, [Wordle and Strands editor Tracy] Bennett plans to throw Strands solvers curveballs every once in a while.”
Time to do the NYT hint and then my own hint after that:

My entire experience with line dancing comes from weddings, not like, actual, fun line dances you can attend, so my knowledge is limited to the Cupid Shuffle and literally nothing else. I have never heard of practically all of these. Sailor? Scuff? Wizard??? Are these real? I’m about to go look up some videos to see what these all look like in practice.
