Here are some of my tricks. I’ll sit out the next couple of these and let someone else have the fun.
1. Start with a scrambled word and pick out a set of letters which make a word and then see if the remaining letters can be added to make a longer word. For # 8 “ndalis”, I quickly saw the word “land” which left “is”. For #9 “godtwon”, it became “god” and “town”.
2. Certain letters are used together frequently in English. Put them together and again, see what is left. For #3 “wnhci”, the letters “nch” is a common combination, leaving “wi”. For both #7 & #10, “sh” is a common phoneme. For #1, “ck” is common.
3. The double L, “ll” in English often has a vowel on each side. So for #6, it would be either “olla” or “allo” leaving “scp”. Plus I was hungry at the time and a “scallop” or six would have been nice.
4. Some letters almost always come at the end of the word. The “y” in #1 through me for awhile until I noticed that the “ck” could be used to make “dock” leaving “dry” with the “y” on the end.
That’s enough tips for now.
Enjoy!
