Room #309 asks you to fit 16 words, from 3 to 9 letters long, into a 12 by 11 grid.

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

Start with CONVEYOR: it is the only word with 8 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.

Where does the longest word go?
