Start with constrained cells
Corners and edge cells have fewer possible exits, so they often reveal the first reliable path.
The fastest Wend solves usually come from constraint checking, not guessing. Use the board shape to reduce options before revealing any answer.

If a path blocks too many strong letters, test a different direction before locking it in.
A single revealed letter can confirm whether your whole solving direction is right.
