How to solve a Wend puzzle
Every open tile belongs to exactly one hidden word, and each word is a path that steps between neighboring cells, bending around the gray walls. Press and drag across connected tiles to trace a path, or tap tiles one at a time. A trace locks in when it matches a hidden word from either end. Clear the whole board to win. New to the game? Read the full how to play guide.
Since today's board only comes around once, the fastest way to improve between rounds is to read the grid before you trace: any open tile with just one open neighbor has to be the end of a word, and those anchors are free progress once you spot them. Our strategy guide covers that and a few other tricks, and the numbered puzzle library gives you more boards to practice on right away.
