After solving the individual clues, these answers needed to be placed in the Grid correctly as below.

The grid had letter hints in the Pink Squares to help slot the answers. For eg, the N indicated, only an answer with N in the 3rd position could be in Place 2 (narrrowing down to TANGO or CONGA).  The T indicated TANGO or TWIST had to be in the 3rd spot while the G indicated that the 5th spot had to be either TANGO or CONGA.  So, you had to solve the puzzle like a logic game to arrive at the correct spots for the answers. After doing that, you had to use the letters in Wordle colors, to find the correct answer which was “WALTZ”.
