Guessing tips for today

Show the solving tips

A doubled letter shows as two tiles only once you guess it twice. Test the last two spots together. Put the opening consonant pair at the front first, then spend a guess on the middle vowel. Among eight starters checked against the answer, Slate shares three letters with it and Audio shares none. Raise and Stare share two each. A starter without S would miss the doubled letter entirely, so choose one that carries it.
