How to Solve Today’s Puzzle

01

Start with the longest word

Today’s longest word is TIGHTER at 7 letters. Place it first — it consumes the most tiles and opens the most crossing anchor points for every shorter word that follows.

02

Use crossings as free hints

Once the longest word sits in the grid, every crossing cell gives you a confirmed letter in a neighbouring slot. Work outward from those confirmed letters rather than guessing each word in isolation.

03

Chase bonus words last

After all required slots are filled, any valid English word from today’s tiles (EGHIRTT) earns bonus coins. There are far more combinations than the 16 required — experiment once the grid is complete.

3 Tips for Today’s Puzzle

Tip 01

Place TIGHTER first

Today’s longest word is TIGHTER at 7 letters. Always drop the longest word first — every crossing tile it reveals confirms a position in a shorter word, turning most remaining answers into instant fills from the locked letters alone.

Tip 02

All 16 words share 66 tiles

Every word today is built from just 66 tiles — EGHIRTT — and each tile is reusable in as many words as needed. Never assume a letter is used up. If a word looks impossible, focus on what the crossing grid positions tell you, not on which tiles remain.
