Room #201 asks you to fit 10 words, from 3 to 7 letters long, into a 9 by 10 grid.

  • 3 letters: 3
  • 4 letters: 2
  • 5 letters: 1
  • 6 letters: 1
  • 7 letters: 3

Start with WHOLLY: it is the only word with 6 letters, so it has exactly one place.

1 letter is printed in advance — without it the words could be arranged in more than one way.

When two words of the same length remain, compare their letters at the crossing squares instead of guessing.

Ten to twelve words of three to seven letters.

Where does the longest word go?

LIGHTLY goes across from row 9, column 1.
