These five habits work on every level in Ann's Journey and the Endless Challenge — apply them here and carry them through every board that follows.
Start with the longest answer and build outward. The longest word on any board crosses more entries than any other. Placing it first drops the maximum number of letters into shorter answers, often reducing two or three other clues to a single valid candidate before you even read them. The breakdown table on this page shows each answer's tile count.
Read the text clue and the image together, not in sequence. Each Word Craze clue pairs a written description with a picture. The text specifies the property the answer covers; the image names the subject. Reading both simultaneously is faster than going back to the image after the text fails to trigger an answer.
Count the blank tiles before typing anything. A four-letter guess in a five-letter slot is always wrong regardless of how logical it seems. Count the row before committing — it takes two seconds and eliminates the most common single-board mistake.
Use the Copy button on any answer you are pasting. Mistyping a correct answer because of a capitalisation issue or a stray space is frustrating and unnecessary. The Copy buttons in the answer table above grab the exact verified string — paste and move on.
