After playing around for a couple minutes... I don't quite get it. Are 100% of the letters in the grid supposed to be used in words? Or is the goal to find the solution where the maximum number of letters are used in words, but some letters will remain unused? Or just some arbitrary pre-selected set of words?
- myhf 4y agoEach daily puzzle has a single solution that uses 100% of the letters in the grid. It will let you select dictionary words that are not part of that solution, and then un-select them later.
- genezeta 4y agoTo add to the other answer... The final goal is indeed to use all letters. If you just go around choosing words, let's say, at random, you'll end up with places where you cannot use some letters. Then you will have to unmark some "wrong" (valid but not the ones in the searched solution) words and try to find some other combinations that don't leave unused cells. Note that a "score" is calculated when you reach the 100% filled solution. This score penalizes marking "wrong" words and going back and unmarking them. So if you want to not only solve the puzzle but get a good score, you need to be careful not to go too fast adding just whatever word you find. Instead, try to build words which don't leave isolated letters, e.g. start in a corner and build from there, or from the bottom, etc.
