  4. Select the first and last letter, drag across the word, or use the keyboard.

Behind the puzzle

An inviting first scan

Several full words sit on forward rows so a new solver can establish progress quickly and learn the outline controls without hunting every direction at once.

Two deliberate direction changes

MARGIN reverses vertically and AUTHOR crosses down-left. Those two lines reward the backward and diagonal checks taught in Puzzled’s strategy guide.
