The Letters

You are given 3 letters: A, T, E

All Words

3-Letter Words

• ATE — past tense of eat
• EAT — to consume food
• ETA — estimated time of arrival; Greek letter
• TEA — a hot brewed beverage

Bonus Words

• ETA — many players miss this one; it's a valid English word borrowed from the Greek alphabet.

Strategy

With A, T, and E, you can form four valid English words. Start with the most obvious ones: EAT and TEA share the same letters in reverse. Then think about the past tense — ATE. Finally, remember ETA is a real English word (used in everyday speech for estimated arrival times).

Why It's Tricky

Players often find EAT and TEA quickly, then get stuck. The word ETA trips people up because it feels like an abbreviation rather than a dictionary word. ATE is easy once you think in past tense. Don't stop after finding 2 or 3 — push for all 4!

## Why This Level Is Tricky For levels with few letters, use the systematic swap method: fix the first letter, cycle through all remaining letters in the second position, then the third. With 3 letters, there are only 6 possible arrangements — check each one against your vocabulary. ## Common Mistakes Players frequently make these errors on Level 2: - Starting from the middle of the letter set instead of methodically working through from A to Z. - Overlooking common word endings like -ED, -ER, -LY, -AL that might form valid words with available letters. - Dismissing 2-letter words as too simple — they're often the hardest to spot and the last ones you'll find.
