- 13 words in 32 moves
- consider using Mystery Mouse to add one or two crowns to the starting board
- there are 16 entanglers ... make 4-letter words using entanglers early in the game
- it is not necessary to play every entangler
- why make so many 4-letter words? ... each 4-letter word produces a crown
- why create so many crowns? ... a crown used as part of a word adds to the word's length
- blasted crowns add to a word's length and most are returned to the board in a new position
- one approach ... make a 4-letter word every turn
- for example ... a 4-letter word that includes 2 crowns is accepted as a 6-letter word
- reminder ... entanglers do not add to a word's length
-
- 15 words in 29 moves
- this example demonstrates one way to handle entanglers(the vines)
- entanglers do not count add to a word's length
- at the start ... create 4-letter words that include entanglers near the center of the board
- why do that? ... to make it easier to form longer words near the center of the board
- ... and a crown is created for each 4-letter word
- crowns add to a word's length
- there are 2 ways to use crowns to add to a word's length
- include crowns when forming a word ... example - a 4 letter word become a 6-letter word when 2 crowns are included in the word ... however the crowns are consumed
- a better way ... blasted crowns add to a word's length and most are returned to the board in a new position
