Answer

WALTZ

A waltz is a ballroom dance in triple time performed by a couple who spin around as they progress across the dance floor. Originating in Vienna in the late 18th century, it was considered scandalous at first because partners danced so close together. The word comes from the German 'walzen' meaning to roll or revolve.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains a Z, which is one of the least common letters in English words. If you have been stuck for several guesses, consider trying words with uncommon letters like Z, X, or Q to either confirm or eliminate them. Sometimes the unusual letters are hiding in plain sight!
