Tips & Strategies
Start with Vowels
Vowels (A, E, I, O, U) appear in almost every word, making them good first guesses.
Common Consonants
After vowels, try common consonants like T, N, S, R, and L.
Look for Patterns
As letters are revealed, look for common word patterns and letter combinations.
Word Length
Shorter words often have fewer unique letters, making them easier to guess.
Category Hints
Use the category as a hint for the types of words that might appear.
Save Rare Letters
Letters like Q, Z, X, and J are less common. Save these for later guesses.
