How the "At home" theme works
Spin the reels of a Word Duel and land on 🏠 At home: the hidden word is an object or a place in a house. Furniture (COUCH, DRESSER), kitchen items (KETTLE, SKILLET), rooms (ATTIC, PANTRY, HALLWAY), parts of the building (ROOF, CHIMNEY, BALCONY) and bathroom things (TOWEL, FAUCET). In Hearts mode each word has a clue — "Boils water for tea", "Comfy seat in the living room".

Tips for household words
- Walk through the house. Kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, garden, garage — picturing one room at a time beats guessing at random.
- Room names are compounds: BEDROOM, BATHTUB, DOORMAT, DOORWAY, TOOLBOX, DUSTPAN. Spot DOOR- or -ROOM and you're nearly there.
- Look for -ER endings: DRAWER, HEATER, TOASTER, FREEZER, DRESSER, HANGER.
- Doubles are everywhere: DOOR, BELL, KETTLE, PILLOW, MIRROR, LADDER. A gray copy of a letter means it appears only once.
