About Wend #68
- Wend #68 hides 6 words in a 7×7 letter grid.
- The words are 4 to 9 letters long.
- It has 6 words, more than the average of 4.6 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- The 7×7 grid has 10 holes across 3 rows (6 inside the grid and 4 along the edges), leaving 39 letter squares in a pattern that is not symmetric.
- The six words run to 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 39 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.
