How to Solve Wend #144
Wend #144 has five solution words: ELASTIC, CUSTOM, FORUM, SUCCINCT, JOIN. Follow the letter grid with the exact paths below:
- ELASTIC: R2C1 → R1C1 → R1C2 → R1C3 → R1C4 → R2C4 → R2C3.
- CUSTOM: R3C3 → R3C2 → R3C1 → R4C1 → R5C1 → R5C2.
- FORUM: R3C6 → R2C6 → R1C6 → R1C5 → R2C5.
- SUCCINCT: R4C6 → R4C5 → R4C4 → R5C4 → R5C3 → R6C3 → R6C2 → R6C1.
- JOIN: R6C4 → R6C5 → R6C6 → R5C6.
Every consecutive letter is in a neighboring cell, blocked cells are avoided, and no letter cell is reused. Together the five paths account for all 30 available letters.
