Mike, it is very difficult to make word hanjies totally logical. Lots of people enjoy them, but check your spelling. Appies and pears? To me the bottom of the puzzle is obviously stairs. I am looking forward to your next puzzle. Well done! No hints were needed on this one.
Hint: (1,2), (2,1), (7,10) (8,9), (13,3), (18,1), (19,2), (24,16), (23,17)
