Wend #106 hides 3 words in a 5×5 grid; the longest has 8 letters. There is an X on the board — rare letters like that belong to only one word, so start there. The 6-letter word is the natural way in.
Hints
Hint 1 — where to start
The shortest word has 6 letters and starts with E at row 5, column 2, heading to the right.

That word is ELIXIR: row 5, column 2 → row 5, column 3 → row 5, column 4 → row 5, column 5 → row 4, column 5 → row 3, column 5.
Hint 3 — nearly there
The longest word, 8 letters, starts with L at row 4, column 3. The rest of the tiles sort themselves out.
Solution
Tap any part to reveal it, or reveal everything at once.
