On level 812.  Need 7 x 8 letter words, get close, but the game is accepting 3 letter words before I can put other letters in... How can I overcome this???

    Hello @jji, Hearty Welcome to the Alpha Betty section of our friendly King Community :) 

    I have played this level just now and have not had the issue you have defined!!  What device you are playing the game?  I have played on PC and no issue!!  It could be just on your device... Not sure!

    I will tag the Alpha-Betty In-charge @Crazy Cat Lad to look into the issue for you!  

    Hoping for the best!  Have a nice rest of the day/evening!

    Do you have any tips for level 812? I can't even get close. Thanks!

    hi @deblee10

    level 812 is a challenge

    ... the move stealers blow up in 5 moves

    ... one approach for the move stealers ... make 4-letter words using three move stealers

    ... a good board is required for this approach ... you may have to quit several times before getting playable move stealers

    ... another approach ... make an 8-way blaster on the first move then blast move stealers on the second move ... this makes it easier to get the remaining move stealers by making 4-letter words

    ... once the move stealers are gone the fun begins

    ... there is a technique for making longer words: blasted crowns add to a word's length and most blasted crowns are returned to the board in a new position

    ... general approach: flood the board with crowns - then blast crowns

    ... using Eskimouse will give you one blank tile at the start which makes it easier to create an 8-way blaster on the first move

    ... approximate range ... 14110 will get 2 stars ... 14530 3 stars

    Thanks for the tips. I'll give it a few more tries. Ah, who am I kidding;. It might take a while but I'll keep trying!

    hang in there ... you have completed 811 levels

    once you master the blasting crowns technique word lists levels with long words are much easier

    here is some inspiration on clearing the move stealers

    Game cheats it takes 5 or six of your turns off of every game

    hi @leannleann

    ... reminder - each move stealer that blows up takes away 2 moves

    ... this is by design

    ... losing 6 turns each game is too many

    ... it is still possible to win when one move stealer blows up

    ... you may want to try a different approach

    ... the quit button can save a lot of grief

    ... examine the board and ask questions

    ... 1) can most move stealers be used to make 4-letter words?

    ... 2) can an 8-way blaster be created on the first move?

    ... use the quit button right away if the answer to both is "no"

    ... when you get a good board - take your time and ponder each move

Hey! Would you like to give us your opinion?
