1. Start with the Center Letter

Remember that the center letter (E) must appear in every word. Start by brainstorming words that prominently feature this letter.

2. Look for Common Endings

Try adding common suffixes like -ING, -ED, -ER, -LY to your base words. Many puzzles include multiple forms of the same root word.

3. Hunt for Pangrams

Pangrams use all 7 letters and give bonus points. They're often longer, compound words, or less common terms. Don't give up on finding all 2 pangrams!

4. Think of Word Families

If you find one word, think of related words. For example, if you find "BOOK", look for "BOOKS", "BOOKED", "BOOKING".

5. Use Letter Frequency

Some letters appear more frequently than others. Build around common letters and don't forget about less obvious combinations.
