I managed to take over the whole board in a recent game against Arkham. I used Jochta's advice and went for the corners early on working my way round to eventually take over the whole board.

I've recently returned to playing Letterpress & I am off to a good start winning nine games on the trot. I've taken a lot of advice from Jochta's recent post on UGVM.

Control corners.

Always put an S on a word if there is one.

Variants like _ed and _er are counted as different words.

Look for endings like _ing.

Once you have control of the important letters and a corner build out into the board and take off unused letters one or two at a time to limit your opponent.

Leave Q to the end if there's no U as you know your opponents can only play QI or QIS with it.

Try and play an anagram (or nearly) of your opponents previous word.

Never leave common letters uncoloured with a close score as your opponent will almost certainly be able to polish them off.
