Find these words
This one fights back. The words are long, the grid is packed, and plenty of them run backward or diagonally through the noise of everything else. LABYRINTH, SILHOUETTE, CRESCENDO, QUANDARY. Set aside a proper stretch of time, because the easy scanning tricks will not save you here.
Anyone hunting for a advanced word find ends up somewhere like this, which is fine, because it is the same puzzle under another label.
Frequently asked questions
What makes this harder than a normal puzzle?
Longer words, a denser grid, and placements running in every direction including backward and diagonal, so no single scanning method finds everything.
Any strategy for the long words?
Hunt for the unusual letters first. A Q, an X, or a doubled letter narrows the search far faster than starting from the beginning of the word.
