Word Labyrinth is featured in the Puzzle Ramayan round this weekend! (There sure are a lot of puzzle contests this weekend 😅) If you participate in Puzzle Ramayan this weekend, you can earn a bonus otter! 🦦

For an additional bonus otter 🦦, can you determine why my first idea for an example puzzle has no solutions? https://tinyurl.com/2xl5g33f (You don't need to write out a full formal justification, just a rough idea is enough! This otter is trickier than GAPP level.)

Rules: Place all given words in the grid. Words must be written in consecutive cells along the spiral from outside to inside. There must be at least one empty cell between words. Letters must not repeat in a row or column.

Note: For answer check, write the words in all caps!

Example (Penpa): https://tinyurl.com/2cy37ubv

Solve in 4:00 or under for a Speedy Sloth! 🦥
Complete in 6:30 or under for a Quick Crab! 🦀
And all solvers who complete the puzzle will earn a Whom Woodlark! 🐦
