Solutions for “Trying”
Content: Words that mean difficult or ridiculous
Special rules: There are four overlapping and abutting grids. Words are found within single grids, crossing from one grid to an abutting grid, and in the overlapping zones. If a word uses alternating letters from multiple grids, then the whole word must do so.
