Room #307 asks you to fit 17 words, from 3 to 9 letters long, into a 11 by 12 grid.

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

Start with INVENTIVE: it is the only word with 9 letters, so it has exactly one place.

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.
