Solved

Keyboard: arrows to move, Enter to start a word, arrows to extend, Enter again to confirm, Esc to cancel.

Width and reversal feed each other. On a wide board the eye already has to travel, and once a word can also read upwards or right to left, every square becomes a possible start. Expect to leave the last few entries unfound for a while, come back, and see one of them immediately in a place you were sure you had checked.

Nobody should expect to clear this in one go. Set it down, pick it up, treat it as something to return to over several sittings. The weather list holds up to that treatment because its words stay familiar: frost and thunder need no explaining, so you are not fighting the vocabulary, only the amount of space it hides in.

Between sittings, start somewhere new: pick the board up in a corner you have not worked yet, because retracing your usual route is how the last few words stay invisible.
