Search for the longest word first
The longest word usually gives the most useful letters on the board. Once it is placed, intersecting letters make shorter words easier to discover.
Try rearranging the same letters from different starting points instead of swiping only the first word you notice.
Use prefixes and endings
Look for common starts and endings. Small patterns can reveal several words from the same letter set.
If you find one valid word, test nearby variations before moving on. This habit often uncovers bonus words.
Save hints for real blocks
Hints are most useful when only one or two slots remain and you cannot identify the missing pattern.
Before using a hint, read the current board again and focus on open intersections.
