-
Start with common prefixes
Words starting with TH, ST, CH, QU, or ending in ING, -ER, -ED are plentiful. Scan for these letter combinations first to rack up quick finds.
-
Longer words score more
Prioritize finding longer words once you've found the short ones. A 6-letter word is worth far more than two 3-letter words.
-
Trace paths, not just positions
The same letter tile can't be used twice in one word, but the path can twist and turn. Explore diagonal connections and backtrack through the grid creatively.
-
Common letter pairs to find
Look for QU (always together), double letters (LL, SS, EE), and vowel clusters (OA, AI, IE) — they often unlock several words in one area of the grid.
Put It Into Practice
The best way to improve is to play regularly. Start with an easy puzzle and apply these techniques one at a time.
