The answers to today's Strands, game #505, are KITE FROG FISH CRANE BUTTERFLY 
SPANGRAM: ORIGAMI My rating: Hard My score: 2 hints 

It took me until my fourth word, which was CRANE, to understand the 
significance of I fold!. After that it was a case of finding a letter-O close

Despite this moment of revelation, todays search didnt get any easier  mainly 
because a crane is the most obvious shape you can make, but also because 
hundreds of items can be created by folding a square piece of thin paper. 

Thankfully, FLOWER and BUTTERFLY were easy to spot, but even though there 
were only five letters left I still struggled to see HEART (trying earth 
first  maybe you just screw the paper up into a ball). Yesterday's NYT
