Words With Friends Scoring Tips
To score big in Words With Friends, more than just vocabulary is required—you need smart strategy and tile awareness. Here are some powerful tips to help you gain an edge:
- Save your high-value letters (like Q, Z, J, X) for premium squares such as Triple Letter or Triple Word.
- Combine multiple high-scoring letters in a single word whenever possible—this multiplies your gains.
- Always think ahead: play with an eye on how your move might open scoring spots for your opponent.
- Balance offense and defense: don't burn all your best tiles too early—keep your rack flexible for upcoming turns.
- Use blank tiles strategically. Though they score zero themselves, they can help you form powerful words when placed on bonus squares.
