Today's Wend hints
- Start with NEED, the shortest 4-letter answer. Short routes are easier to prove and remove pressure from the board.
- Reserve the longest corridor for EAGERLY. Long Wend words usually decide how the remaining open tiles can be covered.
- Use the 8 gray wall tiles as route boundaries. A valid solve cannot leave a single open tile trapped.
Breakthrough analysis
Start with NEED, the shortest answer, then reserve space for EAGERLY, the longest answer. The gray wall pattern creates corridors, so a wrong long route usually traps one or two open tiles.
