Playing Swoop with Duo Pop Poppers might require some agility training. Here are three easy steps to become a true Pop master:

1.  Before you start talking smack, you should exercise your thumb of choice to prevent cramps—see diagram. This is also a helpful exercise for beginners (n00bz, if you will), who might have a case of “hasty thumb.”

2.  Keep your eye on the prize. Yesterday, two of us played a 20-minute game. Eyes got teary, biceps quivered, and thumbs got stiff. In the end, the strongest won because someone blinked. Teary eyes and muscle strains—kid’s stuff. Never look away. We recommend a   staring contest (with yourself) three times a week. All you need is a mirror—and the will to win.

3.   Maybe you’re ready for the challenge by now (maybe you’re not). But here is the most important tip of all: Don’t drop your popper. Meaning, work on your grip. A simple stress ball does the trick! 

Now you’re ready to hold the popper. We wouldn’t say “death grip” per se, but close.

Just follow these tips and we promise you’ll be physically trained to become the biggest and best Swoop champion. Swoop off, anyone?

Bonus strategy tips: 

1. Never. Ever. Reject an S! 

2. Stay flexible: Build words that work with multiple vowels.

3. It’s OK to dwell on the past: Past tense words usually score more points!
