Route strategy for Wend #125

The board is 7x7 with 33 open tiles and 16 gray wall tiles. Start with FAN, then reserve a corridor for SHUTDOWN.

  • Start with FAN, the shortest 3-letter answer. Short routes are easier to prove and remove pressure from the board.
  • Reserve the longest corridor for SHUTDOWN. Long Wend words usually decide how the remaining open tiles can be covered.
  • Use the 16 gray wall tiles as route boundaries. A valid solve cannot leave a single open tile trapped.

Today's Wend hints

  • Start with FAN, the shortest 3-letter answer. Short routes are easier to prove and remove pressure from the board.
  • Reserve the longest corridor for SHUTDOWN. Long Wend words usually decide how the remaining open tiles can be covered.
  • Use the 16 gray wall tiles as route boundaries. A valid solve cannot leave a single open tile trapped.

Breakthrough analysis

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