How Level 42 Breaks Down
This board is level 42 of the NFL Teams category in Word Salad. You are given the 16-tile pool HINDPLOSACTRFKEJ and must find 6 answers, every one of them a nfl team-themed word. That is right on the game-wide average of 6 words per board, so this is a quicker board than most.
The longest answer is Dolphins at 8 letters, and the shortest runs to just 4. Finding the long entry first is almost always the fastest route through a Word Salad board: it consumes the rare consonants, and what remains in the pool tends to spell the short answers out for you. If you are working the category in order, level 41 comes before this one and level 43 comes next.
The NFL Teams category runs to 50 levels in total — the full index is on the NFL Teams page. For a different theme, the category list covers all 23, and there is a separate daily puzzle archive with 920 dated boards.

3 Tips for NFL Teams Level 42
Play Dolphins first
It is the longest answer on this board at 8 letters, and it eats the awkward tiles. Clearing it leaves 5 shorter answers to find from a much friendlier pool — on Word Salad boards the long entry is almost always the fastest way in.
Read the pool: 4 vowels, 12 consonants
The 16 tiles are HINDPLOSACTRFKEJ — and the rare letters K, J narrow the field fast, because very few NFL Teams answers use them. Every answer is drawn from this pool only, so count what you have before you swipe: the shortest answer here runs to just 4 letters.
You are 84% through NFL Teams
This is level 42 of 50 in NFL Teams, and difficulty climbs gradually across a category, so neighbouring boards share letter patterns. If this one is fighting you, level 41 is a useful warm-up. The daily puzzle uses the same mechanic on a fresh theme each day.
