Strategy & learning point

MISER reminds you to look for common letter sets like IS and a final R.

If your grid suggests MIS__ or _ISER, test the vowel E and confirm the closing R.

Once M, I, S, and E are placed, very few natural English words fit besides MISER.

Recommended starter words for today

Here are a few opening guesses that work well toward uncovering MISER. They help you place I, S, and E quickly.

  • SLATE – strong general coverage to surface S and E early.
  • RISEN – checks R, I, S, and E, aligning closely with the target letter set.
  • MISER – once your grid points clearly toward _ISER or MIS__, this is the natural finishing guess.
