Two of these use exactly the letters you were given. Separate them with the category cue, not by which looks more familiar.
Say the alphabet aloud starting from the letter before the gap and stop at the letter after it.
Group the words first, then see which single word has no group left to join.
Turn the leading pair into a sentence, then use that identical sentence on the second word.
Write the sentence out with the spaces removed, then read it slowly from left to right.
Write the size of each gap under the series and work with the sizes, not with the letters.
Start from the cue and list rooms, then test each one against the letters rather than the reverse.
Decide what relation joins the leading two words before you read the rest, then apply exactly that relation.
Nothing here depends on what the words mean. Read each word letter by letter and compare neighbours.
Write the starting word above each candidate and line the letters up in columns before deciding.
Say both compounds aloud for every candidate. A word that works on one side only is not the bridge.
Read all the leading letters as one series and all the trailing letters as another.
Say the leading pair as a sentence containing the words one part of, then reuse that exact sentence.
Cross each letter off the given list as you use it and make sure nothing is left over at the end.
Write a V under every vowel and a C under every consonant, then compare the four patterns.
Compare the first and last words position by position; only the positions where they differ may change.
The stated length is part of the puzzle. Keep sliding your window until a run of exactly that size appears.
Write the four position numbers in a row first, do the arithmetic on the row, and only then convert back.
Write the leading pair as a sentence containing the word measures, then check that your candidate keeps the same kind of word on each side.
Sort the given letters alphabetically, sort each candidate the same way, and compare the two lists.
Work out the size of each gap, then look at how the gaps themselves change from one to the next.
Write each intermediate string on its own line and label which of the two moves produced it.
Check the fastest condition first and drop a candidate the moment it fails one; you should not need all three tests on every word.
Read the letters in the odd positions on their own, then the even ones, and ask how the two runs relate.
Do the two steps separately and write the middle word down before you take the second one.
