Wend #143: 29 letters and 5 words, with every letter used exactly once. The O at row 4, column 6 touches only one other letter, so a word has to start or end there. The blank squares cut the grid into lanes, which leaves the letters beside them fewer ways to go.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
Begin with the 3-letter word. Its first letter is the O at row 6, column 1, and its second is to the right from there.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
That word is OAR: row 6, column 1 → row 6, column 2 → row 5, column 2.
Hint 3: nearly there
With OAR placed, go to the F at row 5, column 1. It starts an 8-letter word that heads upward.
