How Twixtle works
Anagram. Rearrange all the letters into another word, such as heart to earth.
Verb. Switch to another form of the same verb, such as write to wrote.
Homophone. Swap to a word that sounds the same but is spelled differently, such as sea to see.
Compound. Jump to a word that joins with the current one to make a single word, such as watch to tower.
A worked example
The game's own example goes from thyme to bleated. A homophone turns thyme into time. A compound turns time into table, as in timetable. An anagram turns table into bleat. A verb change turns bleat into bleated. Four moves, each type used once.
Spotting each move
| Move | Look for |
|---|---|
| Anagram | Words with the same letters, often five or fewer |
| Verb | A word that is clearly a verb, or a past or plural form |
| Homophone | Words that sound like another spelling |
| Compound | Words that often sit in front of or behind another |

Twixtle strategy
- Work backwards from the end word as well as forwards from the start.
- Homophones and anagrams are the rarest moves, so look for where they could fit first.
- You can undo any move while solving, so test ideas freely.
- Read each word aloud. Homophones hide from the eye but not from the ear.
