Puzzle: Lord Creative and his typewriter

“How many words do you type every day?” asked Lord Logic.
“Oh well, I am not sure. I do manage 300 words on Tuesday, but Mondays are less than that.
Wednesdays are a square, but Thursdays are twice Monday. On Friday, I write 725 words,
which is half as much as everything from Monday to Thursday.
Saturday is 20, which is the root of the square I told you about. Can you guess how many words he writes, listed by day?

  1. Answer:
    If Saturday is 20, Wednesday is
    400.
    400+ 300+3x = 1450. Solve from there.
