The board is 7x7 with 36 open tiles and 13 gray wall tiles. Start with MEAT, then reserve a corridor for SEGMENT.

  • Start with MEAT, the shortest 4-letter answer. Short routes are easier to prove and remove pressure from the board.
  • Reserve the longest corridor for SEGMENT. Long Wend words usually decide how the remaining open tiles can be covered.
  • Use the 13 gray wall tiles as route boundaries. A valid solve cannot leave a single open tile trapped.

  • Start with MEAT, the shortest 4-letter answer. Short routes are easier to prove and remove pressure from the board.
  • Reserve the longest corridor for SEGMENT. Long Wend words usually decide how the remaining open tiles can be covered.
  • Use the 13 gray wall tiles as route boundaries. A valid solve cannot leave a single open tile trapped.
