Strategy tips
- Hunt for endings. If the letters allow -ING, -ED or -ER, try them on every short word you have found.
- Build from short words. Many longer answers are a four-letter word with a letter or two added.
- Shuffle the letters. A new arrangement often shows a word you could not see before.
- Look for the pangram early. It is worth the most points, and it is always a familiar word.
