Wend #125 hides 6 words in a 7×7 grid; the longest has 10 letters. The S at row 3, column 4 touches only one other letter, so a word has to start or end there. The word lengths add up to exactly 43, the number of letters on the board, so nothing is left over.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
Look for a 4-letter word starting at row 3, column 6, going to the right.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
It spells ONYX, along row 3, column 6 → row 3, column 7 → row 4, column 7 → row 5, column 7.
Hint 3: nearly there
The longest word left has 10 letters and starts with P at row 5, column 1. The rest of the tiles sort themselves out.
