 | Bailey Cowell How are we meant to know hebrew words - or are we meant to basically guess in this game? |
 | Perry Sarb For me, the foreign languages variants involve a lot of educated guesswork. One thing I do for the non-Latin ones is research each letter's sound and what words tend to be like (for want of a better word. Basically, are there a lot of... softer-sounding words like Spanish or harder words like German). |
 | Adam Dexter You could take the hardcore route and learn by immersion technique in Israel, but you only have a few days so would suggest booking that ticket soon |
 | Andy SC Alternatively, give Tal your log in details but I would not condone that :) |
| Elwin Carlos I did a practice round where I experimented with two /three letter words containing frequently appearing letters, memorised a handful of words that were valid, and just prayed they showed up in the real thing! |
| Show all comments | |
 | Roger Peak I reiterate what Elwin has just said plus take a look at some old games to see what people use frequently. Good luck! |
 | Martyn Pegram Surely the foreign letters rounds are a bit of an equaliser?
|
 | Martin Hurst Squiggly n and backwards c were in many words I learned, then I quickly realised there are about 5 different squiggly n's and 3 different backward c's. |
| Andy SC That concludes Round 21.

 | Robin M Is there a get out of jail card on a stick prize at the end? |
