Today’s board is 7×7 with 13 blank squares, and its 36 letters make up 5 words. Two of the words begin with M. Find the shortest word first; it has the fewest possible paths.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
Begin with the 4-letter word. Its first letter is the M at row 3, column 2, and its second is upward from there.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
That word is MASK: row 3, column 2 → row 2, column 2 → row 1, column 2 → row 1, column 3.
Hint 3: nearly there
With MASK placed, go to the F at row 7, column 7. It starts a 10-letter word that heads upward.
