He explains how to pick the best starting words, avoid mistakes that can mess you up early, and make the most of short words. You'll also learn how to use vowels smartly across multiple words and why it's better to build on your last word instead of starting over each time. These simple changes can help you get way better scores.
Chris also covers advanced tricks, like how to handle tricky letters (think Q, Z, or X) and spot patterns in the puzzle that lead to extra word chains. If you're someone who always goes for long words and misses easy points, he's got advice on when to go big and when to keep it short and simple.
