Word-Search Guides
What should be done if there are many same initial letters when searching for a word?
Instead of giving equal time to each starting letter, use the second and third letters for quick elimination. If a candidate's neighbors do not have the second letter, move on to the next one. This method can streamline scanning, especially for frequently used initial letters.

Short answer
Instead of giving equal time to each starting letter, use the second and third letters for quick elimination. If a candidate's neighbors do not have the second letter, move on to the next one. This method can streamline scanning, especially for frequently used initial letters.
How do you try it in the game?
Adapt the steps below to your board layout. Predict the result before each move, then compare your prediction with what happens after the move.
- Find initial letter candidates.
- Look for the second letter in the neighbors.
- On the compatible candidate, move on to the third letter.
Mistake to avoid
Don't force yourself to find the whole word there just because the first letter is suitable.
