This week’s puzzle is really straightforward: how many distinct “word-tile game” dictionary words can you find in the word search grid below?
The challenge? The grid is randomly generated using a slightly modified frequency distribution of standard English language texts. That is, E happens about 12% of the time, Q right around 0.095% of the time, etc.
For your convenience, and to avoid typing errors, a copy-paste-able version of the grid appears at the end of this post.
BONUS: For an additional chance at this week’s prize, also list the longest word you were able to find.
Good luck, and happy puzzling!
