Advanced Tactics for Solving Hard Modes

When playing on strict rulesets where revealed hints must be used in subsequent guesses, trap words become your primary failure vector.

Avoiding the "One-Letter Trap" Consider the sequence: _IGHT. Solutions include NIGHT, LIGHT, MIGHT, RIGHT, SIGHT, TIGHT, FIGHT.

If you guess these blindly, you will run out of turns before finding the right starting letter. To break the trap:

  1. Stop guessing the pattern directly.

  2. Form a burner word containing as many potential missing starters as possible in a single turn.

  3. Example: Guessing FLRMS tests F, L, R, M, and S at once, instantly solving the puzzle on the next turn.
