So perhaps put in some 'balancing word direction placement logic' that when a horizontal word is placed then a vertical word needs to be placed next, followed by a horizontal word, etc, Also seems to be that more longer horizontal words are placed than vertical ones. What looks obvious to me is that there are twice as many horizontal words as there are vertical.
