About Wend #48
- Wend #48 hides 6 words in a 7×7 letter grid.
- The words are 4 to 10 letters long.
- It has 6 words, more than the average of 4.6 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- The 7×7 grid has 5 holes across 3 rows (3 inside the grid and 2 along the edges), leaving 44 letter squares in a pattern that is symmetric left to right and top to bottom.
- The six words run to four, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten letters, so no two share a length.
- Start with the 10-letter word, which uses 10 of the 44 letters and has to bend around the inner holes.
