By the wording of the condition I would assume that if 2 arrows emanate from a grey it should be allowed to have 3 or words starting in it, but that seems like a strange rule, hence my question.
Each combination of grey cell + arrow is used by exactly one word. There are no two words sharing the same first two letters.
Zitat:Last Question applies to both "Snake Words" Puzzles: Do grey cells have to be filled? The condition "a letter in a grey cell must be the starting letter for at least one word", doesnt seem to forbid having empty grey cells, but the examples have none.
Grey cells are allowed to be empty.
Should it not be: Each combination of grey cell + arrow is used by at most one word?
Explanation: Since grey cells are allowed to be empty I would assume that such cells also have arrows (which are not used). Otherwise all grey cells without arrows are empty and all grey cells with arrows are filled.
