The word lengths in Wend #146 are 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. V starts two different words today, so the V tiles are good places to begin. The longest word takes up 10 of the 45 tiles, so once it is placed the rest has little room to hide.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
Begin with the 5-letter word. Its first letter is the N at row 4, column 3, and its second is to the right from there.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
That word is NOVEL: row 4, column 3 → row 4, column 4 → row 4, column 5 → row 5, column 5 → row 5, column 4.
Hint 3: nearly there
With NOVEL placed, go to the I at row 3, column 1. It starts a 10-letter word that heads upward.
