About Wend #56
- Wend #56 hides 4 words in a 5×5 letter grid.
- The words are 3 to 6 letters long.
- It has 4 words, fewer than the average of 4.7 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- The 5×5 grid has 7 holes across 3 rows (all inside the grid), leaving 18 letter squares in a pattern that is symmetric left to right and top to bottom.
- The four words run to three, four, five, and six letters, so no two share a length.
- Start with the 6-letter word, which uses 6 of the 18 letters and has to bend around the inner holes.
- Two letter squares have only one neighboring letter, so a word must start or end there.
