About Wend #87
- Wend #87 hides 5 words in a 6×6 letter grid.
- The words are 4 to 8 letters long.
- It has 5 words, more than the average of 4.6 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- The 6×6 grid has 6 holes across 6 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 five words run to four, five, six, seven, and eight letters, so no two share a length.
- Start with the 8-letter word, which uses 8 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.
