The type changes from one game to the next, and the board itself is new every single time. These are what you could be walking into.
Open BoardNo special rule. A straight board, rare words hiding in plain sight.
DecoyTrust nothing. The easy words are bait.
ScarceThe alphabet didn't all show up today. Make do with what's left.
CopseA few consonants show up twice. Watch for the pairs.
VanishingThe board is vanishing. One letter goes every round, and only 15 are left by the end.
SequoiaSome letters just keep appearing. Lean into them.
ThicketTangled and stubborn. The grid doesn't give anything away easily.
Deep WaterCalm on the surface. The best finds are the ones that don't float up.
A leaderboard is only worth topping if people are on it. Send it to anyone you would enjoy beating. The table is better full, and the board on top of it starts to mean something.
