How a nature duel plays
When the theme reel of a Word Duel shows 🌿 Nature, the hidden word is something you'd find outside: the weather (THUNDER, FROST), a landscape (CANYON, MEADOW), a plant (FERN, CACTUS), a body of water (LAGOON, CREEK), the seasons or the sky (ECLIPSE, METEOR). Hearts mode gives a clue for each word — "Slow river of ice", "Moving air".

Tips for nature words
- Sort by "where". Sky, water, land, plants, weather. Yellow R and V? Think RIVER or VALLEY before anything else.
- Compound words hide in 7 letters: RAINBOW, SUNRISE, SUNBEAM, ICEBERG, HILLTOP, REDWOOD, SEAWEED. If you see SUN- or -BOW, the rest follows.
- Seasons are a free guess. SPRING, SUMMER, AUTUMN and WINTER are all 6 letters and test very different letters.
- Mind the double letters: MOSS, CLIFF, PEBBLE, PUDDLE, BLOSSOM and MONSOON all repeat a letter.
A natural fit for science and geography lessons
Teachers use the nature theme to review weather and landform vocabulary: open a room for up to 10 students, and the clues in Hearts mode work like flash cards with a scoreboard.
