Wend #126 hides 4 words in a 5×5 grid; the longest has 7 letters. Look at row 1, column 1: that Y has a single open neighbour, which makes it the first or last letter of a word. The word lengths add up to exactly 19, the number of letters on the board, so nothing is left over.

Look for a 3-letter word starting at row 5, column 1, going to the right.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
It spells CUT, along row 5, column 1 → row 5, column 2 → row 5, column 3.
Hint 3: nearly there
The longest word left has 7 letters and starts with V at row 3, column 3. The rest of the tiles sort themselves out.
