Room #306 asks you to fit 17 words, from 3 to 9 letters long, into a 12 by 11 grid.

  • three-letter words: 7
  • four-letter words: 2
  • six-letter words: 2
  • seven-letter words: 3
  • eight-letter words: 2
  • nine-letter words: 1

Start with ADJUSTING: it is the only word with 9 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.

Big grids are solved from the long words outward; leave the many three-letter words for the end.

Fourteen to seventeen words of three to nine letters.
