Route strategy for Wend #76

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

  • Start with HUG, the shortest 3-letter answer. Short routes are easier to prove and remove pressure from the board.
  • Reserve the longest corridor for SYMMETRY. 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.

Word meanings for Wend #76

  • HUG (1 syllable) - A close embrace, especially when charged with an emotion such as affection, joy, relief, lust, anger, aggression, compassion, and the like, as opposed to being characterized by formality, equivocation or ambivalence (a half-embrace or "little hug").
  • DASH (1 syllable) - To run quickly or for a short distance.
  • ACID (2 syllables) - Any compound which yields H+ ions (protons) when dissolved in water; an Arrhenius acid.
  • COTTAGE (2 syllables) - A small house.
  • PARTNER (2 syllables) - A spouse or other person with whom one shares a domestic, romantic, or sexual bond.
  • SYMMETRY (3 syllables) - Exact correspondence on either side of a dividing line, plane, center or axis.

Today's Wend hints

  • Start with HUG, the shortest 3-letter answer. Short routes are easier to prove and remove pressure from the board.
  • Reserve the longest corridor for SYMMETRY. 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 HUG, the shortest answer, then reserve space for SYMMETRY, the longest answer. The gray wall pattern creates corridors, so a wrong long route usually traps one or two open tiles.
