About Wend #85
- Wend #85 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 4 holes across 3 rows (all inside the grid), leaving 21 letter squares in a pattern that is symmetric under a half turn.
- The four words run to three, five, six, and seven letters, so no two share a length.
- Start with the 7-letter word, which uses 7 of the 21 letters and has to bend around the inner holes.
