How to read all four boards efficiently

Work in passes instead of finishing one board at a time unless you are one word away on a single grid.

Pass 1: greens

Collect confirmed positions per board. Green on board 2 does not force the same letter in the same slot on board 4.

Pass 2: yellow clusters

Group yellows by letter. Ask: “Where can this letter still live on this board?” Forbidden positions from gray tiles on the same board matter; grays on other boards do not export globally.

Pass 3: candidate pressure

If any board’s remaining answers shrink below a handful, bias the next shared guess toward resolving that board while still separating candidates elsewhere. The solver on this site shows per-board counts to support that decision.
