Wend rules

  1. STAELRMON✓ Right

    Words wind

    A word runs through cells side by side or one above the other, never diagonally, and may turn at any letter.

  2. STAELRMON✗ Not allowed

    Every letter, once

    Every letter is part of exactly one word: while a letter is left, a word is still hidden.

Wend tips that solve it faster

  • Start with the rare letters

    A Q, Z, X or J has few words it can belong to, and few neighbours to build them from.

  • Read the corners

    A corner letter has the fewest neighbours, so its word is easier to trace.

  • Think of what is left

    Every letter must be used, so a letter no word you know can reach marks a word still hidden.

  • Look for endings

    Endings such as -ING, -ED or -ER often mark where a word stops.
