About Wend #109
- Wend #109 hides 5 words in a 7×7 letter grid.
- The words are 4 to 9 letters long.
- It has 5 words, more than the average of 4.3 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- The 7×7 grid has 16 holes across 7 rows (all along the edges), leaving 33 letter squares in a pattern that is symmetric left to right and top to bottom.
- The five words run to four, five, seven, eight, and nine letters, so no two share a length.
- Start with the 9-letter word, which uses 9 of the 33 letters and needs a long unbroken run of letters.
- Four letter squares have only one neighboring letter, so a word must start or end there.
