How can I maximize my chances of beating a level in Crosswordling before I run out of moves?

[AARPTeri]

Crosswordling can be a tricky game, especially in later levels where you have more gray letters to contend with. There are a few tips and tricks you can use to stay ahead of the game – and keep playing:

1. Look for pairs of yellow letters – but be careful. If you have one word with two yellow letters, that means they’re the correct letters in the wrong places. A simple swap should turn them both green. But be careful – if the yellow letter is part of two words, the game won’t tell you which word claims it as a yellow letter. Before swapping that with another yellow letter in one of the words, make sure the word you’re about to make is a real one. And if you’re not sure, have an undo power up ready!
2. Losing lives isn’t the end. You have three lives in Crosswordling, and you lose one if you run out of moves. But don’t forget to click on the heart icon on the game’s home screen. There, you can get more lives by watching an ad or spending coins, which you’ll accumulate by beating levels.
3. Don’t move too fast! Clicking indiscriminately, hoping a gray letter turns green, is a recipe for a lost life. Before moving letters around, try to find a swap that could potentially affect both words. Either you’ll be rewarded with two green letters, or you’ll learn good information to use for future moves.

Good luck!
