Strategy for Mythology Words
FAERY clears F and Y together: Both F (4pts) and Y (4pts) are awkward tiles that sit on racks too long. FAERY dumps both in one play while scoring 11 points.
DRUID pluralises to DRUIDS: At 8 points, DRUIDS adds an S for minimal cost. Play DRUID first, then hook the S on your next turn if the lane stays open.
BARD is a 4-letter gem: At 7 points from 4 tiles (1.75/tile), BARD outscores most 4-letter words. It also extends to BARDS and BARDIC for bonus plays.
💡 Key Insight
Celtic mythology words specialise in clearing awkward consonants — W, V, Y, and F all appear frequently. WYVERN alone uses three 4-point tiles in one word. Keep these words ready when your rack fills with mid-value consonants.
