Puzzle tips
- Many words ending in X 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.
