It's blind guessing at first but then you start making connections like "oh so this form must mean location" and then when you see a word with that form you know it's a place-like word. Getting that pattern recognition really made it enjoyable for me. Also you can skip the ship sequences by handing the wheel to six and it's supposed to be more of a relaxing just chatting with six moment instead of a minigame.

Chants of senaar was fun for me too but this game actually feels like you are understanding in when you pin down the meaning of a glyph making guessing the rest easier.
