IDIOT
- There isn’t an obvious pairing of letters that would lead you to spot this one.
THEME
- Pair TH together
- Then you could alternate the vowels and consonants
HIKER
- Start with the ER suffix.
HOWLS
- The word most likely would end with an S
- The only vowels is most probably placed in the middle of the word.
- . Pair WL together and place vowel in front
SMOKY
- The word most likely to end on a Y
FAXES
- Here again look for plural endings with an S at the end.
- You would almost certainly expect a vowel in front of the X.
AGENT
- This one is a bit tricky, no obvious strategies to implement.
- The NT pairing with a vowel to be placed in front of it.
FATLY
- The word would most likely end with a Y
- You could expect the vowel to be placed in the middle of the word.
CLIPS
- With the only vowel, you could expect it to be placed in the middle of the word.
- End with an S, as a plural form.
FUSED
- Start with the ED suffix
- if would be very unlikely to have the S and F together, the other vowel should therefore separate the two consonants
FEUDS
- The word should end with an S, as a plural
- The EU vowel pairing is uncommon, not an obvious spot.
JUDGE
- Not mny words have J in the middle, so J should be the first letter.
DRUNK
- The only vowel should be placed not at the start or at the end.
- The NK ending is something to look out for.
