About Wend #74
- Wend #74 hides 4 words in a 6×6 letter grid.
- The words are 6 to 9 letters long.
- It has 4 words, fewer than the average of 4.4 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- The 6×6 grid has 6 holes across 4 rows (4 inside the grid and 2 along the edges), leaving 30 letter squares in a pattern that is symmetric under a half turn.
- The four words run to six, seven, eight, and nine letters, so no two share a length.
- Start with the 9-letter word, which uses 9 of the 30 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.
