Built from these letters
OTTO starts with O and ends with O. Sorted, its letters read OOTT - the shape to hunt for when the grid is scrambled. O and T appear more than once, including a double letter. It reads the same backwards - a palindrome, and there are not many in the dictionary this game plays from.
Same letters, different word
One other word uses exactly these letters. Worth knowing at the board: an anagram fits a grid the same way.
