About Wend #71
- Wend #71 hides 4 words in a 5×5 letter grid.
- The words are 3 to 7 letters long.
- It has 4 words, fewer than the average of 4.6 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- The 5×5 grid has 6 holes across 3 rows (all along the edges), leaving 19 letter squares in a pattern that is symmetric left to right and top to bottom.
- The four words run to three, four, five, and seven letters, so no two share a length.
- Start with the 7-letter word, which uses 7 of the 19 letters and needs a long unbroken run of letters.
- Six letter squares have only one neighboring letter, so a word must start or end there.
