Tips

Studying a rack like FAILED is a good vocabulary exercise. Cover the list, write down every word you can find in two minutes, then compare with the page and read the definitions for the ones you missed. The words you learn this way come back the next time the same letters appear on your rack, which happens more often than you would expect with common letters. Repeat with a few of the linked words for extra practice, and keep a note of the ones that surprised you.
