Unscrambling by hand
- Start from the ending. Of the 6,696 common seven-letter words, 29% end in S, 16% in ED and 14% in ING. If you hold I, N and G, or E and D, set them aside and build the front from what is left.
- Pair the consonants. Clusters that often start words, such as ST, PL, TR, CH and SH, fix the front and leave fewer places for the vowels.
- Spread the vowels. Two vowels usually sit between consonants; try them side by side (EA, OU, IE) only after that.
A handful of letters spells more than you would expect. The seven letters of PLASTER make 209 words of three or more letters, 144 of them common, and 4 use all seven: PLASTER, STAPLER, PALTERS, PSALTER.
