Tips & strategy
- Look for common endings first — ing, ed, tion, ness.
- Find the vowels and work out where they can sit; consonant clusters are more constrained.
- Say the letters aloud, which often surfaces the word faster than staring.
- Skipping costs less than letting the timer expire, so move on when stuck.
