How the us presidents words fit each size
63 of the 64 us presidents words fit the 11 × 11 easy grid. INAUGURATION is too long for it, so it only turns up on the 15 × 15 medium and 19 × 19 hard grids.
11 words have five letters or fewer, OATH, POLK and TAFT among them, and those are the first ones young solvers spot. The longest, INAUGURATION, IMPEACHMENT and CONVENTION, are the last to be found.
