Tips for finding Countries words
- Capital letters do not change the search, so scan for the four-letter nations first — Cuba, Peru, Laos, Fiji, and Mali are the quickest to clear.
- Group by region as you go: Japan, China, India, and Nepal cluster in your memory, which helps you recognise them faster in the grid.
- Watch for backward spellings of short names like Mali and Laos, and use the standout letters — the 'j' in Japan, the 'g' in Egypt and Ghana — as anchors to trace the whole word.
