🔍 Effective search methods

1️⃣ Systematic method

Go through the grid letter by letter, exploring all possible paths from each square. This method ensures nothing is missed but takes time.

2️⃣ Common pattern method

First look for frequent letter combinations in English:

• -TION, -ATION: nation, ration, potion
• -ING, -LING: ring, bring, feeling
• -ER, -OR: player, creator, actor
• TH-, WH-, SH-: this, what, ship
• -ED, -LY, -EST: played, quickly, fastest

3️⃣ Length-based method

Start with long words (6+ letters) that score more points, then fill in with short words in the remaining time.

💡 Tips to maximize your score

• ✓ Look for rare letters (Q, X, Z, J): they often form specific words that opponents miss
• ✓ Use diagonal paths: diagonal paths create less obvious combinations
• ✓ Think about plurals: if you see "CAT", also look for "CATS" (if both are formable)
• ✓ Use prefixes/suffixes: RE-, UN-, -ING, -ER help extend words
• ✓ Don't forget 3-letter words: numerous and quick to find (ACE, BIG, CAT, DOG...)

📝 Organization during the game

🧠 Train your brain

• → Play regularly: One grid per day quickly improves your performance
• → Study solutions: After each game, analyze the words you missed
