A little help
Enter your puzzle or try the original example. You choose when to open candidates, explanations and complete results.
How the Reunion helper works
- The animals must finish adjacent horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
- Animals break words; every resulting word has at least three letters.
- Green letter positions must be preserved.
Check a proposed reunion and produce a tile-swap route. Enter your own puzzle state to calculate candidates or check its constraints.
Results use the puzzle you enter; they are not verified daily answers. Your entries stay out of public URLs.
Work through a position
The original example places both animals at the top of the left column. Below them, DEALS is a five-letter word; the two other long columns spell ABALONE and ABANDON. Swapping the first two letters of ADTA makes the top row DATA.
