Today's Wend hints

Start with TRUCK, the shortest 5-letter answer. Short routes are easier to prove and remove pressure from the board.
Reserve the longest corridor for STARLING. Long Wend words usually decide how the remaining open tiles can be covered.
Use the 10 gray wall tiles as route boundaries. A valid solve cannot leave a single open tile trapped.

Breakthrough analysis

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