  • Use broad guesses first before getting specific.
  • Avoid long or tricky words — the game rarely uses them.
  • Look for common themes like wind, moon, water, tools, time, animals.
  • If unsure, try opposite ideas (light/dark, hot/cold, big/small).
  • Pay attention to patterns — many riddles repeat styles and answers.
