Daily routine (5–10 minutes)
- Play the daily Word Dash opener with a vowel-heavy starter.
- Switch to LinkUp or Word Hive for a different puzzle mode warm-up.
- Return to Word Dash and solve using a pattern or anagram tool only if needed.
- Check hints after guess 3 or when you hit a hard branch.
LinkUp
- Look for obvious categories first to reduce noise.
- Use a “test” group to surface one-away hints.
- Lock in easy groups early to reveal harder clusters.
Word Hive
- Start with short words to build momentum.
- Hunt for the pangram after you identify letter families.
- Track word families to avoid missing common suffixes.
Word Proximity
- Start broad with categories, then narrow with close ranks.
- Re-guess near the best rank using related synonyms.
- Use hints when you plateau on rank movement.
Word Dash
- Keep the first two guesses letter-unique for max info.
- Use the pattern finder to avoid trap words.
- Save hints for guess 4+ to protect your streak.
