  • Spangram: A long word spanning from one edge of the grid to another, essential to solve.
  • Clue Tokens: Reveal in-game hints after finding three non-theme words.
  • Word Pathing: Words can snake in any direction but won’t overlap.

Hints (Subtle)

  • Theme: Think of ornamental climbing plants adorning trellises.
  • Spangram: 7 letters, starts with C, ends with R, likely horizontal.
  • Word Lengths & Starters: J (7), M (10), S (8), W (8), C (8—spangram).
