Beat Every Grid With Clear, Game-Style Strategies

This fan-made guide focuses on fast scans, smart hint usage, and themed drills that make progress feel like clearing a level. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the game’s creators.

How to Play

  1. Find listed words hidden in the grid. They may run horizontal, vertical, diagonal, and reverse on higher levels. Treat the word list like a checklist.
  2. Drag across letters in order and release to submit. In relaxed modes experiment freely; in timed modes prioritize accuracy.
  3. Clear all words to finish. Bonus stars reward speed, streaks, and minimal hint usage.
  4. Save power-ups for the final 20% when boards get noisy or when rare letter pairs stall you.

Pattern Primer

Run a two-pass scan: rows left→right, then columns top→bottom, followed by a diagonal zig-zag. If nothing pops, anchor on uncommon pairs like QU, PH, TH and expand.

Scoring & Stars

Aim for 3-star runs by finishing under the time cap and keeping clean submissions. Track split times to see honest progress.

Power-Ups

Reveal Start

Highlights the first letter and direction. Best for long diagonals or reverse words. Use on the last two targets in timed runs.

  • Lock in momentum near the finish
  • Avoid on short 3–4 letter words

Row/Column Ping

Pulses the line containing a target word to calm visual noise. Ideal on big boards with many decoys.

  • Great on reverse-enabled packs
  • Skip on tiny boards

Shuffle Lite

Softly repositions distractors without breaking valid paths. Use as a mental reset after your second scan.

  • Best after a 20–30s stall
  • Don’t use in the first 15s

Reverse-First finally clicked and I stopped burning hints early. 3-star rate doubled in a week.
