Try a hint before revealing the answer
Open one hint at a time to preserve some of the challenge.
Hint 1
Think of the puzzle as a Latin-square style arrangement rather than a word search.
Hint 2
Once one row is placed, offset the order of the letters systematically in the following rows.
Written assembly guide
- Group identical letters before starting so you can see how many of each must be distributed.
- Make a first row containing four different letters.
- Build each following row using the same four letters but shifted so no column repeats a letter.
- Check the two corner-to-corner diagonals before accepting the final arrangement.
Use the preserved diagram or video alongside these steps for exact orientation. The written guide is an original summary prepared for this archive.
