Four spirals #1: "Police paddock"
A further spinoff of the Outward spiraling paths, there are four interlocked spirals, all paths starting in the centre. However, the starting word is always the same.

Only one starting word is given in the centre, repeated four times, chosen by clicking Random Article.


 * Repeat words are technically allowed, but only once in each spiral and must not be adjacent to the same word in the adjacent cell, bar the starting word.
 * Once the starting word has been chosen, further words follow any of the four colored paths spiraling outward. Now, they do have to associate with their vertically or horizontally adjacent neighbours, but each path may be followed at all times, no matter how many filled adjacent squares. It is theoretically possible to play this grid with one path completed before starting the next.
