In order to place words round the circle under the conditions, it is
necessary to select words in which letters are repeated in certain
relative positions. Thus, the word that solves our puzzle is "Swansea,"
in which the first and fifth letters are the same, and the third and
seventh the same. We make out jumps as follows, taking the letters of
the word in their proper order: 2-5, 7-2, 4-7, 1-4, 6-1, 3-6, 8-3. Or we
could place a word like "Tarapur" (in which the second and fourth
letters, and the third and seventh, are alike) with these moves: 6-1,
7-4, 2-7, 5--2, 8-5, 3-6, 8-3. But "Swansea" is the only word,
apparently, that will fulfil the conditions of the puzzle.
This puzzle should be compared with Sharp's Puzzle, referred to in my
solution to No. 341, "The Four Frogs." The condition "touch and jump
over two" is identical with "touch and move along a line."
