I am admittedly terrible at this game — I’ve yet to win — and I don’t like timed games in general, but I keep coming back to this quick word-scramble game.

You start with three letters and have to put them in the correct order. Then the game adds another letter, and you have to rearrange them again, and so on and so on, until you are unscrambling an 8-letter word.

I will pass along advice that I never remember in the moment. If the game adds an “S” or “L” followed by a “Y” — really, anything that can be tacked on as an ending to a word — look back at the earlier words that you created and just tack on the ending to that word. I forget this every time I play, but hopefully, writing that down will help me remember that shortcut.

Please read the three rules on this post to understand the difference between a permalink to a post and a blog’s main URL.) Only personal blogs can be added to the list. I will remove any posts connected to businesses or sponsored posts.
