Strategy

The biggest mistake is chasing the first obvious word. Strong play comes from scanning for high-value consonants, then routing through bonus tiles without breaking adjacency.

Do not waste a move on a safe four-letter word if the board clearly supports a six or seven-letter route. You only get three tries. Low-value filler words destroy your ranking.

Look for:

• Double-letter and word-multiplier paths
• Rare letters near vowels
• Words that stay flexible until the last tile
• Long words that avoid repeated weak letters
