Word Square 7 is a 6x6 grid into which the letters in the word PLANE have been written so that each letter occurs once and only once in each row and column of the square. The letters may or may not be scrambled in a row or column, and a space appears somewhere in each row and column to fill the grid. An example of a Word Square with the word PLANE is

 123456
A E P  L N
P  L N E A
L P  A N E
 N E L A P
E A N P  L
N L A E P
