Wend #109 hides 5 words in a 7×7 grid; the longest has 9 letters. The W at row 1, column 1 touches only one other letter, so a word has to start or end there. The word lengths add up to exactly 33, the number of letters on the board, so nothing is left over.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
Begin with the 4-letter word. Its first letter is the G at row 7, column 1, and its second is to the right from there.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
That word is GAIN: row 7, column 1 → row 7, column 2 → row 6, column 2 → row 6, column 3.
Hint 3: nearly there
With GAIN placed, go to the I at row 4, column 3. It starts a 9-letter word that heads downward.
Solution
Tap any part to reveal it, or reveal everything at once.
