Difficulty curve

Levels follow a steady ramp: easy levels (Level 1, 2, 8, 9…) use 5-letter target words. Medium levels move to 6 letters, hard levels to 7 letters, and the weekly bonus level (every 7th level) drops an 8-letter challenge. The same difficulty pattern reappears every 7 levels, but the target word and scramble are unique to each level.

Strategy

  • Spot common letter patterns first. English is full of recurring digraphs (TH, CH, SH, GH) and trigraphs (ING, ION, ENT, EST, EER). If your scrambled letters contain T, H, you almost certainly want them adjacent.
  • Identify likely starting letters. Words don't usually start with double consonants (BL, ST, PR are common; TL, GZ are not). Move improbable starters to the middle.
  • Distribute vowels evenly. English typically alternates consonants and vowels every 1–2 letters. If your letters include three vowels, they probably aren't all clustered together.
  • Use suffixes as anchors. -ING, -ED, -ER, -EST, -ION, -TION, -ABLE all suggest the word's ending. Park those letters at the end and rearrange the rest.
  • Read the hint, don't fight it. The hint tells you what category the word belongs to (animal, food, country, action verb). That's narrowing the dictionary from ~200,000 words to ~2,000 — a free 100× zoom-in.
  • Try anagrams of common words first. "TARSE" → STARE/RATES/TEARS/TARES. The brain's dictionary is biased toward common words; lean into that bias.

A short history of anagrams

Anagrams are one of the oldest forms of wordplay. Ancient Greek poets used them as a literary device (anagrammatismos); medieval Jewish kabbalists treated them as mystical revelation; the 17th-century French court of Louis XIII employed an official "Anagrammatist to the King," Thomas Billon, whose only job was to compose flattering anagrams of nobles' names.

Modern competitive anagram-solving formalized in the 1970s alongside Scrabble. The U.S. Scrabble Tournament Word List (TWL06) and the international SOWPODS dictionary became the canonical reference for what counts as a valid anagram. Today they're a core ingredient in puzzles from the New York Times Spelling Bee to Wordle, where every guess is implicitly an anagram constraint on the answer.
