DEMAGOGUERY
Answer Explanation:
You gave the correct answer:
WILD → DEMAGOGUERY
Let’s break it down:
First Word: WILD
-
W from left side (M G W)
-
I from bottom (O I R)
-
L from top (Y L E)
-
D from right (A U D)
This word obeys all rules:
-
No repeated edge used consecutively.
-
Letters: W → I → L → D are each from different sides.
Second Word: DEMAGOGUERY
Starts with D, matching the last letter of “WILD” ✅
Let’s break down the sequence:
-
D from right (A U D)
-
E from top (Y L E)
-
M from left (M G W)
-
A from right (A U D) — ok, different from last side (left)
-
G from left (G) — different from last (right)
-
O from bottom (O)
-
G from left (G)
-
U from right (U)
-
E from top (E)
-
R from bottom (R)
-
Y from top (Y)
All transitions use letters from different sides consecutively ✅
All 12 letters (Y, L, E, A, U, D, O, I, R, M, G, W) are used across both words ✅
Puzzle Completion Summary:
-
Two words: WILD → DEMAGOGUERY
-
All 12 letters used ✅
