Bubble Word Jam Guides
Five strategy guides, every number computed from our level database (category frequency, word-category conflicts, move budgets) — not written from thin air. Each one ends in a method you can apply on your next board.
Category patterns: what 1,500 levels actually repeat
36,207 category slots counted — the 30 most-repeated categories, the naming templates behind them, and why 8-word groups are really two groups nested.
Trap words field guide
10,422 words fit two or more categories. The 24 worst offenders (Bow, Water, Mint…) with real level data, plus a 4-step method to place them.
Booster economics: Hint, Magnet, Extra Bubble
Measured move budgets (95.2% of levels allow exactly 10 moves) and special-bubble rates — a decision framework for when each booster pays off.
Level versions: why your level number doesn't match
1,094 of 1,500 levels have multiple conflicting versions. What reshuffles change, where they concentrate, and how to find your exact version.
Difficulty scale: the 20 hardest levels, ranked
A transparent 1-5 score computed from real data — category counts, heavy trap words, collision traps, reshuffles — plus the full distribution and hardest-20 leaderboard.
