How to solve Monkey Wrench

Read the categories and their word counts. Drag through connected hexagons to spell a word; if it belongs to a category it locks in. Every letter on the board is used exactly once across all the words.

Monkey Wrench tips for tomorrow

  • Start with the specific categories. A category like "Shakespeare plays" has fewer possibilities than "Things that are red".
  • Follow the shape. Long words bend around the honeycomb. Trace a path before committing.
  • Use the edges. Letters on the border have fewer neighbours, so words through them are easier to pin down.
