Today’s board is 6×6 with 6 blank squares, and its 30 letters make up 4 words. Three of the words begin with B. Find the shortest word first; it has the fewest possible paths.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
Begin with the 6-letter word. Its first letter is the B at row 1, column 2, and its second is downward from there.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
That word is BANGLE: row 1, column 2 → row 2, column 2 → row 2, column 1 → row 3, column 1 → row 3, column 2 → row 3, column 3.
Hint 3: nearly there
With BANGLE placed, go to the B at row 5, column 6. It starts a 9-letter word that heads upward.
