Puzzle 3: A well-placed flipped tile on your first turn gives you two
distinct paths to victory on your next turn; your opponent can
easily block either, but not both.
Puzzle 4: A smaller word starting at I12 would give you various
ways to connect TERRIFIC to MONOPOLY, even if your opponent
plays a word through the I at H15 or extends HARMED to
something like UNHARMED.
Puzzle 5: A five-letter play from F1-F5 guarantees a win.
Puzzle 6: Your first play, which will use the C in BACON,
should set up multiple winning connections (using a
flipped tile); your opponent can’t block all of them.

your plans?
