About Wend #61
- Wend #61 hides 5 words in a 7×7 letter grid.
- The words are 5 to 10 letters long.
- It has 5 words, more than the average of 4.4 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- The 7×7 grid has 13 holes across 7 rows (2 corners, 1 inside the grid, and 10 along the edges), leaving 36 letter squares in a pattern that is symmetric under a half turn.
- The five words run to five, six, seven, eight, and ten letters, so no two share a length.
- Start with the 10-letter word, which uses 10 of the 36 letters and has to bend around the inner holes.
