Strategies to Win
Start with Yellow — it's the easiest and helps you eliminate words from the board.
Beware of trap words! A word may seem to fit one category but secretly belongs to another.
Use Shuffle to see the board fresh — sometimes new arrangements reveal hidden patterns.
Save your 4 mistakes for the hardest groups — don't waste early guesses.
Look for hidden themes: not just meaning, but pronunciation, spelling patterns, or surprising connections.
