How to approach it
Treat the three-letter opening as a stem and build outward rather than guessing whole words. Begin with the handful of stems you already know, then run a deliberate morphological drill: for every stem, add suffixes marking agent, quality, manner, privation and activity, and note which combinations look like real dictionary entries rather than inventions. Next, compound each stem with everyday nouns to create single closed-up forms, keeping length and plausibility in mind. When the obvious vein thins, switch to reference hunting: dialect glossaries, historical dictionaries, and specialist vocabularies often list longer derivatives that no casual player will produce. Sort candidates by how unlikely they feel, submit the strangest ones first, and check each entry is one unbroken word, since proper nouns and phrases score nothing.
Get a hint
Start with the shortest, most familiar stems your memory supplies and note how many everyday domains — clothing, dwellings, creatures, plants, tools — already carry a candidate or two of their own.
A little more
Then work the machinery of word formation: add suffixes for agent, quality, manner, and privation to each stem, and try joining two ordinary nouns or a noun and a verb into a single closed-up compound.
One step further
Finally, raid the long tail: dialect glossaries, historical dictionaries, and technical word lists hide many lengthier compounds and diminutive or jocular formations, and those are exactly the entries that pay the most.

Why these answers count
Points in this round tracked obscurity almost perfectly. The two entries that reached 100 — booboisie and boobook — are dictionary-attested but genuinely exotic: one is a jocular coinage for a social class, the other an obscure bird name, and neither surfaces in ordinary conversation. The enormous 85-point band, 216 of the 332 recorded answers, is where derivation and compounding pay off: boobage, boobfest, boobilicious, bookfluencer and bookstagrammer all sit there, each a transparent formation that still requires a leap of invention. The 91 answers at 60 points are the solid mid-tier — unusual enough to escape the obvious list, common enough that a few hundred players found them. Only twenty-three entries fell below that line, which means the crowd was unusually disciplined about avoiding the first forms that come to mind. The lesson is blunt: length and rarity beat familiarity, and a strange compound assembled from an ordinary stem outscores a short everyday word every time.
