How to read puzzle #136
This Wend board is a 6 by 6 grid with 24 usable tiles and 12 blocked cells. The answer words follow a 3 / 6 / 7 / 8 letter pattern, so start by checking whether each word can physically fit through adjacent open tiles without crossing another path.
Answer words
DRY, DEFEND, COMPILE, PROPOSAL are the verified words for this puzzle. Use them to confirm the solve before studying the path.
Best anchor
PROPOSAL is the longest word on this board, which usually makes it the most useful path to verify first.
Path discipline
Every open tile belongs to one word. If a route steals a tile from another answer, the remaining paths will not close cleanly.
Why this archived answer is useful
Older Wend puzzles are useful for more than checking a missed streak. They show how the game uses repeated letters, short corridors, and blocked cells to make ordinary words harder to trace. Comparing several archived boards can help you recognize when to anchor a long word first and when to save a short word for the final open tiles.
