Loretta looks for 'ed' and 'ing' then tries to make a word(others ... ier ies ...) ... when you make a 4-letter word a crown is added to a tile on the board ... crowns add to the word length when that tile is played as part of the word ... when a crown is blasted the word length is increased AND the crown is returned to the board ... when you need several long words try to reuse the crowns by blasting them instead of making them part of a word
