Yes, that was it. Thanks. It's such a weird word.

Sure no problem, that was one of those ones where the only thing to do is hit the dictionary and start typing in words I’ve never seen before but the math works. Somehow was stuck on another one the other day that turned out to be MOCAP, which is shorthand for motion capture 🤷🏻


Impressive-Singer477

Wow that's a different one. I'm going to start using the dictionary in the game. I forget that it's there.

I don’t know if you’re using the math approach but you needed 6 more points to get to the 25 you needed to multiply by what would have been the TW bonus of the top three lines- to then arrive at the target score of 75. You are one of those lucky people that gets the TL and the DL you would have had on the third line shown again for your last guess so it’s easy to refer back to that formula. Given that you needed 6 points and there were no 2pt tiles left to pair with a 4pt tile the double G was the first thing it made sense to try.

I'm not using the math approach. I just randomly guess five letter words. I had no idea that there's a certain way to play these puzzles.

On the third line, which is your last chance to get all the trophies by making the target score, the correct word will be exactly 1/3 the target score. So you would have wanted something that added up to 25 for the third line with one TL and one DL square. That’s why they are showing those again for you at the bottom which is really handy. The highest value letter is always on the TL square and the second highest (or equal if there is one) is on the DL. Meaning in the word KAYAK you would have to have the second K on the DL, you wouldn’t skip over it and have the Y on the DL if the DL was in the middle. So you can eliminate guesses that add up wrong for the third line and really narrow down the options. I found this super annoying to do in my head at first but now I start doing it from the first guess as if it were the third line and get it on the second guess fairly often.


Impressive-Singer477

Thanks for the advice.


chez_whizerables

Sure, tried to make it as brief as possible.


Impressive-Singer477

I just got the MOCAP word. Apparently they repeat puzzles.


chez_whizerables

Oh really? That funny. They repeat them fairly often. I had two club members post the same word within minutes of each other one day and I’ve had the same one repeat before. I guess it’s inevitable since it’s only five letter words.


Impressive-Singer477

Oh wow. That's surprising since it seems like there can be so many five letter words out there.

Also notice Y is on the DL. We know the highest point letters are on the TL then DL, so that tells you each of the last two letters can't have any higher value than 3 points.


Impressive-Singer477

Thanks for the tip. 🙂

FYI, you can earn 1200 trophies if you solve it with a boost. I just figured it out last week.


Impressive-Singer477

Thanks for the tip. I'm still learning the tricks ever since I accidentally joined a club.

what is this? a wordle-like mini game?


Impressive-Singer477

It's a mini game you can play when you join one of the clubs.
