Tips for Better Guesses

Start with vowels - A, E, I, O, U appear in almost every English word. Get them out of the way early.

Try common consonants next: T, N, S, R, L. These appear in the most English words after vowels.

Use the category hint. If it says 'Animals', you can immediately rule out abstract nouns and verbs.

Look at letter positions. If you see _E_ _E_, think of words with repeating E patterns like SENSE or FEVER.

Save rare letters (Z, Q, X, J) for last. Only guess them if the pattern strongly suggests they fit.
