Wend #124: 40 letters and 5 words, with every letter used exactly once. E is the most common letter here, with 6 tiles, so expect it in several words. The blank squares cut the grid into lanes, which leaves the letters beside them fewer ways to go.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
Look for a 6-letter word starting at row 3, column 5, going to the left.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
It spells DIRECT, along row 3, column 5 → row 3, column 4 → row 2, column 4 → row 2, column 5 → row 2, column 6 → row 2, column 7.
Hint 3: nearly there
The longest word left has 10 letters and starts with D at row 8, column 6. The rest of the tiles sort themselves out.
