Solving Approach
This one works out to about 4.9 letters per word on average. This puzzle leans toward longer words — apostrophes and doubled letters will likely crack it open faster than word length alone. Rated medium, this one asks for a bit more pattern recognition than a warm-up puzzle, but nothing that requires guesswork.
