About Wend #53
- Wend #53 hides 6 words in a 7×7 letter grid.
- The words are 3 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 14 holes across 4 rows (2 corners, 5 inside the grid, and 7 along the edges), leaving 35 letter squares in a pattern that is mirrored left to right.
- The six words run to three, four, five, six, seven, and ten letters, so no two share a length.
- Start with the 10-letter word, which uses 10 of the 35 letters and has to bend around the inner holes.
- Seven letter squares have only one neighboring letter, so a word must start or end there.
