About Wend #89
- Wend #89 hides 5 words in a 7×7 letter grid.
- The words are 5 to 10 letters long.
- It has 5 words, more than the average of 4.6 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- The 7×7 grid has 11 holes across 3 rows (all inside the grid), leaving 38 letter squares in a pattern that is not symmetric.
- The five words run to five, six, eight, nine, and ten letters, so no two share a length.
- Start with the 10-letter word, which uses 10 of the 38 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.
