Route strategy for Wend #71

The board is 5x5 with 22 open tiles and 3 gray wall tiles. Start with VOGUE, then reserve a corridor for RITUAL.

  • Start with VOGUE, the shortest 5-letter answer. Short routes are easier to prove and remove pressure from the board.
  • Reserve the longest corridor for RITUAL. Long Wend words usually decide how the remaining open tiles can be covered.
  • Use the 3 gray wall tiles as route boundaries. A valid solve cannot leave a single open tile trapped.
