Tips for Playing

Start by scanning for short, common words like 'bow' or 'elf' to clear easy targets first.
Look for unusual letter pairs, like 'Z' or 'X', to spot tricky words faster.
Check every direction—words can run diagonally and backwards, not just left-to-right.
Use the word list to your advantage; cross off words as you find them to track your progress.
If you're stuck, try a quick vertical scan to pick out letters that stand out.
