Tips for finding outliers

Scoring is pure rarity — a word 4% of players find is worth more than a long word everyone gets. Hunt the word others walk past, not the biggest word you can spell.

RATE, TEAR, STARE — if it jumps out instantly, most players already have it. The valuable finds are the ones hiding in plain sight.

Any letters on the grid can form a word — they don't have to be adjacent. Scan the whole board, not just neighbors.

You can't use a letter more times than it appears on the board. Two S tiles means two S's, no more.

RE-, UN-, -ING, -IER, -EST open up words others miss. A familiar root with an unusual ending is often a rare find.

You get ten. Lock in early if you've landed something rare — or push your luck for a rarer word. Locking ends the day.

Words built around J, Q, X, Z, K, or V are far less likely to be found by the crowd. If the board offers one, build around it.

One grid, one day, everyone scored together. Streaks build on your profile, and the leaderboard resets every night — a fresh shot at the top.
