A LITTLE WORD KNOW-HOW
Anagram Strategy: Build From Small Familiar Patterns
Find more words by rearranging common pieces and respecting repeated letters.
Change the view
Shuffle the rack when the same arrangement keeps suggesting the same word. A new visual order can make a familiar beginning, ending or small word easier to notice.
Build and extend
From a rack containing R, E, A, D, I, N and G, READ and GAIN provide useful footholds. Check whether another available letter creates a longer accepted word, rather than repeatedly trying near-identical guesses.
Keep the task straight
An exact-anagram task uses every letter. Our sprint and unscrambler allow shorter words too. Know which task you are playing before dismissing a perfectly valid subword.
