Wend #121 hides 4 words in a 5×5 grid; the longest has 7 letters. The H 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 22, 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 H at row 3, column 5, and its second is downward from there.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
That word is HIGH: row 3, column 5 → row 4, column 5 → row 5, column 5 → row 5, column 4.
Hint 3: nearly there
With HIGH placed, go to the G at row 4, column 2. It starts a 7-letter word that heads to the right.
