About Wend #70
- Wend #70 hides 3 words in a 5×5 letter grid.
- The words are 5 to 7 letters long.
- It has 3 words, fewer than the average of 4.7 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- The 5×5 grid has 7 holes across 3 rows (1 inside the grid and 6 along the edges), leaving 18 letter squares in a pattern that is symmetric left to right and top to bottom.
- The three words run to five, six, and seven letters, so no two share a length.
- Start with the 7-letter word, which uses 7 of the 18 letters and has to bend around the inner holes.
- Four letter squares have only one neighboring letter, so a word must start or end there.
