About Wend #84
- Wend #84 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 5 holes across 3 rows (3 inside the grid and 2 along the edges), leaving 20 letter squares in a pattern that is symmetric under a half turn.
- The four words run to three, four, six, and seven letters, so no two share a length.
- Start with the 7-letter word, which uses 7 of the 20 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.
