Monkey Wrench tips for tomorrow
- Start with the specific categories. A category like "Shakespeare plays" has fewer possibilities than "Things that are red".
- Follow the shape. Long words bend around the honeycomb. Trace a path before committing.
- Use the edges. Letters on the border have fewer neighbours, so words through them are easier to pin down.
