How to play Wend

Every hidden word is a path of touching cells. Trace each word from its first letter to its last. When every open cell belongs to a word, the level is solved.

1. Press the first letter of a word and drag through its letters in order. You can start from any cell.
2. Move only between touching cells: left, right, up or down. Diagonal moves are not allowed.
3. Paths never cross or overlap, and no word passes through a gray wall.
4. Spell a word correctly and its path locks in. Find every word and the board is complete.

• Word slots: a row of blanks showing how many words are hidden and how many letters each has.
• Rings: a ringed letter is the first letter of a word. Not every word starts with a ring.
• Gray cells: walls. No word passes through them.
• Colored paths: words you have found, with small arrows showing which way each one reads.

This is the first level of Wend in English, exactly as the game generates it. The 5×5 grid has two wall cells and hides five words: two of four letters and three of five.

Start with the rings. The R in the top row runs right along the row: R, O, S, E spells ROSE. The L on the left edge zigzags up to the top-left corner: L, E, V, E, L. The T on the right edge loops left and down beside the wall to spell THREE, and the M in the bottom-right corner runs along the bottom row and turns back up to spell MUSIC.

Drag with one finger to trace a word. A word you have found stays locked, so there is no undo; Restart Puzzle in the options menu clears the board if you want a fresh start.
