Word Connection #1 ⓦ🔗ⓦ

     Today, we're featuring Word Connection as a fun puzzle type, for which the rules may differ from one author to another. Here is the version of the rules I use, as follow :

Place all the words from the bank and trace a line going through every cell of the grid.

- Words cannot bend, and can be placed in any direction.

- The line must go through all words from in order from the bank, starting from the first letter of the topmost word and ending on the last letter of the last word. (If the list is split, further indication is given for the word order.) The words must be traversed by the path such that all letters appear in the correct order.

- The line cannot branch or cross itself, and may visit a cell only once.

- Some letters are provided in the grid, and must be part of one word.

    If the bank contains a repeated word, it must be placed as many times as it appears. Don't forget the order rule, which is crucial for solving (and uniqueness, ofc). The main difference with other rulesets is that words can touch, which is not allowed for Serkan Yürekli's puzzle, for instance.

    This first post will be on 2 entry-level puzzles, with small grids. This doesn't mean the logic behind them is lacking, quite the contrary ! But it can be pretty easy to do with intuition since there's not many words to place or space to work with.
