Winning Strategy for Level 497
Three moves tuned to this exact board.
Spell the anchor first
GRATIS uses all 6 tiles. Place it first and every shorter slot inherits confirmed letters.
Work the 2 vowels
This board runs on A, I. Anchor each remaining slot around a vowel and the 4 consonants fall into a much smaller set of options.
Clear the short slots
The 12 short answers here (AIR, ART, GAS, GIT, ITS) cost nothing to try and each one confirms tiles for the longer words.

3 Tips for Word Relax Level 497
The wheel is the whole puzzle
Level 497 gives you 6 tiles — GRATIS — and every one of the 20 answers is built from them, ranging from 3 to 6 letters. Count the tiles before you swipe: knowing you have only 6 letters rules out most of what comes to mind first.
Start with the 6-letter answers
The longest answers use the most tiles, so placing one first strips the awkward letters out of the wheel and leaves the 19 shorter entries far easier to see. The shortest here runs to just 3 letters.
Where this board sits
Level 497 holds 20 answers against a game average of 11.5, in the 401-500 block of 3,300 levels. Word Relax raises difficulty gradually, so neighbouring boards share tile patterns — if this one is fighting you, an adjacent level is the most useful hint there is.
Verified Answers, Not Guesses
How we verify level 497
The 20 answers on this page are read from the level data itself and checked against the 6-tile wheel GRATIS, so no listed word can use a letter this board does not give you. Level numbering is confirmed sequential across all 3,300 boards before any index publishes.

How to Solve a Word Relax Level
Three habits that clear a Word Relax wheel quickly.
Count the wheel before you swipe
Every answer is built from the tiles on the wheel and nothing else, so the tile count caps what is possible before you have tried a single word. A repeated vowel or a rare consonant narrows the list further.
Place the longest answer first
The long words consume the awkward tiles and leave a wheel that spells the short ones out for you. Starting long is consistently faster than sweeping for three-letter words.
Work the block, not single levels
Word Relax raises difficulty gradually rather than in jumps, so consecutive levels reuse tile patterns. Playing a block in order is noticeably quicker than dipping in at random.
