About Wend #55
- Wend #55 hides 7 words in a 7×7 letter grid.
- The words are 3 to 9 letters long.
- It has 7 words, more than the average of 4.6 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- The 7×7 grid has 7 holes across 3 rows (all inside the grid), leaving 42 letter squares in a pattern that is mirrored left to right.
- The seven words run to three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and nine letters, so no two share a length.
- Start with the 9-letter word, which uses 9 of the 42 letters and has to bend around the inner holes.
