How Wridges works
Start at the bottom. Begin each word on a tile in the bottom row.
Trace a word. Connect touching hexagons to spell it.
Climb up. Use your words to work up the grid. Finish before time runs out.
Building words from the bottom
Wridges, from The Washington Post, gives you a grid of hexagon letter tiles and a clock. Every word must start from the bottom row and climb through tiles that touch. Hexagons have six neighbors, so there are more paths than in a square grid.
Tips for longer words
- Scan the bottom row first. Every word starts there, so the bottom letters decide what you can make.
- Look for common endings near the top, like ING, ER and ED, and build down to them.
- Short words are quick points, but long words usually score more.
- Keep an eye on the clock. A steady pace beats long pauses.
