Word game strategy
Better word-game play starts with short words, flexible endings, and smart use of high-value letters.
Learn short words
Two-letter and three-letter words are powerful because they help you connect to existing letters and create multiple words in one move.
Use hooks
A hook is a letter added to the beginning or end of a word to make a new word. Learning common hooks gives you more placement options.
Manage tough letters
Letters like Q, Z, X, and J can score well, but they are harder to use. Look for common combinations and save flexible vowels when possible.
