Route strategy for Wend #128

The board is 7x7 with 37 open tiles and 12 gray wall tiles. Start with LANE, then reserve a corridor for BRUNETTE.

  • Start with LANE, the shortest 4-letter answer. Short routes are easier to prove and remove pressure from the board.
  • Reserve the longest corridor for BRUNETTE. Long Wend words usually decide how the remaining open tiles can be covered.
  • Use the 12 gray wall tiles as route boundaries. A valid solve cannot leave a single open tile trapped.

Today's Wend hints

  • Start with LANE, the shortest 4-letter answer. Short routes are easier to prove and remove pressure from the board.
  • Reserve the longest corridor for BRUNETTE. Long Wend words usually decide how the remaining open tiles can be covered.
  • Use the 12 gray wall tiles as route boundaries. A valid solve cannot leave a single open tile trapped.

Breakthrough analysis

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