Start with rack structure
Separate likely prefixes, stems, and endings while keeping alternate arrangements open. Several common letters and a healthy vowel balance create more seven-letter possibilities.
Use the board as an extra letter
Your strongest play may use six rack tiles plus one board tile rather than clearing all seven. Search the exact opening instead of forcing a full-rack candidate.
