How do you play with eleven letters?
Type a real eleven letter word and press Enter. The tiles turn green, yellow or grey just like the shorter games. You have eight guesses, two more than the classic game, because long words are harder to pin down.
Why are long words easier than they look?
An eleven letter guess tests almost half the alphabet at once. After two guesses you usually know most of the letters in the answer. The hard part is putting them in order, since long words often share parts such as INTER, TION, ABLE and MENT.
Tips for eleven letter words
- Open with a word packed with common letters, like the one suggested below.
- Look for common parts: TION, NESS, MENT, ABLE, ATION. Test them as blocks.
- Fill in from the ends. Once the start and end are green, the middle often follows.
- Count letters. Long words often repeat letters like E, I, N and T.
