7 Little Words: Helpful Tips
Read through all of the clues until you reach one that you feel like you really know the answer to, and then start looking to see if the first part of the answer exists in the letters provided. Then, you can start working through the next clue and so on.
When you get stuck, opt for working on clues with a shorter answer (e.g. 6 letters in length, typically 2 words together), and try taking the first set of possible answer letters and then adding the remaining choices, one by one, until you feel like you’ve found something that clicks in your brain as a possibility. There’s no harm in guessing, since the game is not timed and there is no penalty for guessing wrong.
Look for common prefixes and suffixes when you are working on finding an answer for a longer answer (like 9 letters). These can include prefixes like: co, com, con, re, pre, and suffixes like: tion, ity, er, ism, ant, age. There are also more typical word endings like -ed, -er, -ly, and -ing.
Pay attention to the tense of the clue along with whether it is looking for a pluralized form of the answer, as this can help you narrow down word ending choices (so you can look for one that ends in a D for past tense, for example).
