Tips & strategy
Hunt for rare letters
Look for uncommon letters like Q, Z, X, J or K first — they narrow down where a word can be.
Scan row by row
Run your eyes along each row for the first two letters of a word.
Turn the board in your head
On Hard, also read each line right-to-left and bottom-to-top.
