Choosing and moving on screen
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
An example before you play
The letters of GARDEN can be rearranged; the clue “A place where plants grow” identifies GARDEN. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the controls nearby.
Avoid this misunderstanding
A different anagram may be a valid word but still not match this clue. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
