Puzzle tips

  • Many words ending in K share their last two or three letters. If several fit, pick a guess that tests their different first letters at once.
  • Remember that plurals and simple past tenses are rarely used as answers in daily puzzles; they're listed under less common words.
  • The solver can suggest a next guess that splits the remaining words as evenly as possible.
