Today's German puzzle is tough, but you can logically eliminate some stuff by just looking at the arrows and the subwords, before even trying to place a subword. Doing that led me to try the subword 'HIER' first. Das heutige deutsche Puzzle ist schwierig, aber Sie können einige Dinge logischerweise eliminieren, indem Sie sich nur die Pfeile und die Teilwörter ansehen, bevor Sie überhaupt versuchen, ein Teilwort zu platzieren. Das führte dazu, dass ich zuerst das Teilwort „HIER“ versuchte.

 One of the subwords is NENNEN, which, as you can see, is formed from just two distinct letters:  N and E.  The rootword is GESESSEN, formed from only three distinct letters. German words are quite capable of being packed into a compact graph!

Made some changes to WordWalk puzzles: 1) Now displaying number of letters in hidden rootword. 2) The bubble of the rootword's first letter is thickened. 3) The points system has changed (read about it at the site). 4) You get 4 guesses instead of 3 before you lose. 5) Main puzzles are based on 7-letter rootwords and 5 subwords of minimum 3 letters each. 6) Kids puzzles are based on 5-lettr rootwords and 5 subwords of minimum of 2 letters each.

It is important for two reasons (but perhaps a little tedious) to find all of the subwords before guessing the rootword.   The first reason is that (as of the current implementation) you get an extra 10 points for each subword correctly guessed.   The other reason is that you can now take advantage of the arrows that have not yet been used by any of the subwords thus far and hence must be arrows belonging to the rootword.  Two nodes connected by an arrow indicates that the digram (two consecutive letters in a word) must be present somewhere in the rootword.  This can give you a major clue as to what the rootword is. Consider the following German WordWalk Puzzle in which all of the subwords have been found but the rootword still needs to be guessed:   You'll notice that there is only one thin black arrow that has not yet turned green. Otherwise, all the nodes and edges (aka arrows) have been traversed at least once.  This tells us that the digram "EN" m...
