Route strategy for Wend #118

The board is 5x5 with 21 open tiles and 4 gray wall tiles. Start with SET, then reserve a corridor for SMOOTH.

  • Start with SET, the shortest 3-letter answer. Short routes are easier to prove and remove pressure from the board.
  • Reserve the longest corridor for SMOOTH. Long Wend words usually decide how the remaining open tiles can be covered.
  • Use the 4 gray wall tiles as route boundaries. A valid solve cannot leave a single open tile trapped.

Word meanings for Wend #118

  • SET (1 syllable) - To put (something) down, to rest.

Today's Wend hints

  • Start with SET, the shortest 3-letter answer. Short routes are easier to prove and remove pressure from the board.
  • Reserve the longest corridor for SMOOTH. Long Wend words usually decide how the remaining open tiles can be covered.
  • Use the 4 gray wall tiles as route boundaries. A valid solve cannot leave a single open tile trapped.

Breakthrough analysis

Start with SET, the shortest answer, then reserve space for SMOOTH, the longest answer. The gray wall pattern creates corridors, so a wrong long route usually traps one or two open tiles.
