Winning at Words With Friends
Use Unscramble Words to crush WWF opponents with high-point plays.
The core idea
WWF premium squares are placed more aggressively than Scrabble, and the dictionary is a bit more permissive. Prioritize Triple Letter squares for J, X, Z tiles, and never sit on an S.
Tips that actually work
Target Triple Letter squares
A J or X on a TL square gives you 30 points from a single tile. Plan two plays ahead to land one.
Learn WWF-only words
Words like EW, DA, ZE, OK and JO are valid in WWF. They are lifesavers when your rack is a wreck.
Use the chat
WWF is social — a quick good-game message keeps opponents playing longer, which is when you can really rack up stats.
Save blanks for bingos
The 35-point bingo bonus in WWF plus premium squares often means 80+ point turns. Blanks make them possible.
Put it into practice.
Feed your current rack into the unscrambler and see how many of these ideas land in your next game.
