About Wend #79
- Wend #79 hides 4 words in a 5×5 letter grid.
- The words are 4 to 7 letters long.
- It has 4 words, fewer than the average of 4.4 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- The 5×5 grid has 3 holes across 2 rows (all along the edges), leaving 22 letter squares in a pattern that is mirrored left to right.
- The four words run to four, five, six, and seven letters, so no two share a length.
- Start with the 7-letter word, which uses 7 of the 22 letters and needs a long unbroken run of letters.
- Two letter squares have only one neighboring letter, so a word must start or end there.
