Best word played in words with friends

Include A Board Position

You can narrow your search down even more by specifying a value square to target. All word positions in the result will contain this square.

Because we are dealing with such a massive amount of data (the scores of all words at all board positions), we only return a fraction of all possible plays, and only the highest scoring plays. Otherwise, your devices would come to a grinding halt just from the sheer volume of data.

For example, if you are specifically looking for something to hit a triple word score, and we return 3000 plays to you, without specifying this premium square, these 3000 plays might only contain 20% of what you are interested in. If you select it, all 3000 plays will contain a triple word placement (if indeed there are 3000 plays with the triple word placement to be had, fewer if not).

What Is The Value Of A Word

The score of a word in Words With Friends™ depends both on the value of the letters and the value of the squares on which you play those letters. You do not get an accurate sense for the value of a word just by adding up the letters. A word can have drastically different scores at different board positions. A three letter word played right might have a higher score than a seven letter word, but without the 50 point bonus. In order for you to cash in on the premium squares, you must be the one to play the letter on those squares. If not, your score might be somewhat less than our predicted value. You can increase your score for a word even more by extending or playing parallel to previously played words. There are many things that determine the real value of a played word. It is not a trivial game. The scores of all words in a growing list at all board positions we can calculate, and it is a massive amount of data. Some things we can’t predict, and this is why we love the game.

Words With Friends High Point Play 137 Points

137 point play.  35 points for using all 7 letters combined with a double and triple word score and a triple letter score on the R.  What is your best?

Words With Friends High Point Play - 116 Points

116 points.  Pretty good.  This one includes the Q on the triple letter for 30 points plus a triple word score for “quits” for 3 X 35 = 105.  Combine that with 11 points for “sleave” and that is 116 points total.

Words With Friends High Point Play 111

111 Words With Friends High Point Play

111 points for playing “beached”.  35 points for playing all 7 letters, triple word score on the “C” and “E” for 23 points, multiplied by the triple word score for 69 points.  Add in the words “er” and “de” and that is another 7 points for a total of  111 points.

Words With Friends Highest Point Word 100 Points

Words With Friends Highest Point Word 100 Points

A good use of two double word squares and playing all 7 letters.

Words With Friends Highest Point Word 113 Points

Words With Friends Highest Point Word 113 Points

A very generous opening provided by this opponent to allow for a triple letter score on the Z multiplied by a triple word score on “gauze.”

101 Point Play

A 101 point play with implore. Used all 7 letters for 35 points, a triple letter score on the P and O for 15 points, plus a triple word score on the implore for 60 points, plus two other words that made up 6 more points.

103 Point Play

A 103 point play with four letters.  The key here is the triple letter score on the J for 30 points plus a triple word score of 99 points.  Add in the 4 points from Tore and it’s 103 points.

Best Point Play 115

Didn’t know “dewaxes” is a word but I’m sure the word scrambler somebody used here did.  The big play here is the double word score used twice plus all seven letters for 35 points.  “Guns” nets 8 points and the double word score on two tiles nets 72 points (4 X 18) for 115 points total.

Best Point Play 133 Points

This is an impressive play with all 7 letters.  35 points for using all 7 letters, 6 points for “Rif” and 92 points (23 * 4) for “Jerkily” which is sitting on two double word tiles.

Point Play for 103 Points

Excellent use of the triple word score combined with the triple letter score.  The J is on the triple word tile for 30 points combined with “Rioja” triple word score for 99 points (33 * 3).  The last points were from “Aw” for 4 points.  Now use Rioja in a sentence.

High Point Word – 109 Points

It’s always a mystery why a player would open up the opportunity for someone to use the Double Word score on two words especially with the word maxi which carries 14 points.  To make matters worse this same player provided the opportunity to use two Double Word scores with 5 tiles.  This player not only had one S to capitalize but two which enabled the player to use all seven letters for 35 points.  “Maxis” scores 30 with the Double Word score and “Shields” nets 44 points by utilizing two Double Word scores.  Players simply cannot setup other players with these opportunities.

98 Point Word Play

The point total isn’t high here but get honorable mention for such a high score with one word and letters with low values.  This one is a 7 letter play for 35 points, Triple Letter scores on the E and C combined with a Triple Word score for 63 points.

105 Point Play

Another classic mistake by someone who chose to net a 7 point play that allowed multiple plays for their opponent on the either Triple Word spot.  Everyone loves to get the 10 point letters on the Triple Letter but it’s even better when it’s combined with the Triple Word.  Here this person got the Q on Triple Letter and “Aquae” on the Triple Word score for 105 points.

Words With Friends 2: Гайд для новичков

Words With Friends 2 компании Zynga. Это продолжение знаменитой Игры слов с друзьями, которая набрала огромную популярность на фейсбуке. Не меньшие число поклонников есть и у мобильной версии WWF2. К сожалению, в игре нет русского языка, но она имеет большую популярность у нас в стране. На ней, как на симуляторе, можно оттачивать знание английского и других, встроенных в игру, языков. Преимущество данного вида Скрэббла состоит в том, что в нее можно поиграть не только с другими игроками, но и создать командные битвы, а также развлечься с искусственным интеллектом. Стоит отметить, что ИИ в игре наделен богатым словарным запасом, поэтому не стоит считать матчи с компьютером легкой победой.

Старт игры

Для того, чтобы запустить игру, необходимо нажать на «плюсик» в правом нижнем углу экрана. Если вы играете с iPad в ландшафтном режиме, то на вашем экране в этом месте будет кнопка «Создать игру». После чего перед вами появиться выбор режимов игры:

  1. See Who’s Playing — здесь можно найти игроков, которые есть в сети (или уже добавленных друзей), чтобы создать с ними партию.
  2. Lightning Round — режим командной игры, где вы со случайно выбранными пользователями ведете интеллектуальный бой с командой других геймеров.
  3. Practice Mode — режим практики, то есть игра с ИИ.

Вы будете перенаправлены на страницу, основанную на выбранном вами игровом режиме. Lightning Round приведет вас в лобби (предыгровое окно), а затем непосредственно в режим матча и практики, который поможет вам улучшить свои навыки, не влияя на вашу статистику.

После того, как перед вами появиться игровое поле, вам требуется создать слово. Любая 1 буква слова должна лечь на плюсовую плитку. Следующие слова должны соединяться с ранее написанными.

Когда вы придумаете слово, следует тапнуть по кнопке «Play». В этот момент вашему сопернику придет push — уведомление. Вам также будут приходить сообщения, когда наступит время вашего хода. В режимах «Solo Challenge» и «Lightning Round» нет уведомлений.

Начисление очков. Очки зарабатываются в том случае, если вы победите соперника набрав больше очков, чем ваш противник. Во время матча вы получаете очки за каждое слово, плюс бонусы, которые дают подписанные слоты на поле. Для составления слова у вас есть внизу окна 7 плиток. Если вы все их используете, то есть напишите слово из 7 букв, то получите 35 дополнительных очков. Термин, обозначающий данное действие, называется «Бинго».

Гораздо труднее сделать бинго в конце игры, потому что доска заполнена больше, чем в начале. Если вы видите слово из 6 букв, следует постараться сохранить эти буквы, особенно без буквы S, тогда вы можете добавить букву S в конце слова.

Бонусные ячейки:

  • DL — в 2 раза увеличивает значение плитки.
  • TL — в 3 раза повышает значение плитки.
  • DW — в 2 раза увеличивает значение слова.
  • TW — в 3 раза повышает значение слова.

Для того, чтобы увеличить бонусные очки, рекомендуется составлять слово так, чтобы использовать максимально возможное количество бонусных слотов.

Игра заканчивается, когда вы играете все свои плитки или, когда вы, или ваш друг используете «пас» 3 раза подряд. Если вы используете все свои плитки сначала, вы получаете очки от плиток в стойке вашего друга, добавленные к вашему окончательному счету.

Правила:

  • Первое слово должно быть расположено так, чтобы 1 из букв разместилась на звезде в центре доски.
  • Каждое слово, следующее за этим, должно быть помещено так, чтобы, по крайней мере, 1 плитка была разделена с существующим словом на доске.
  • Буквы слова могут быть размещены только в одной вертикальной или горизонтальной линии каждый ход.
  • Плитки могут располагаться так, чтобы можно было получить дополнительные (промежуточные) слова, которые используют соседние символы.
  • Слова не могут располагаться на поле, если они создают незаконное слово, используя соседние буквы.
  • Пустые плитки можно использовать в качестве замены любой буквы, но они не имеют точного значения.

Как закрыть матч? Играть одновременно можно в несколько матчей в разных режимах. Для того, чтобы покинуть один из раундов, вам требуется зайти в него и щелкнуть по кнопке «More» (три белые горизонтальные линии), щелкнуть по белому флагу. Затем нужно выбрать команду «Resign».

Есть еще один момент, если противник не делает ход длительное время, матч прекращается автоматически. Например, если соперник не делает ход 5 дней, то на 6 игра будет закрыта системой.

Какие слова можно использовать в матче? Не все слова, которые есть в словарях представленных языков можно использовать:

  • Имена собственные (слова всегда пишутся с большой буквы).
  • Аббревиатуры.
  • Приставки и суффиксы, стоящие отдельно.
  • Слова, требующие дефиса или апострофа.
  • Уничижительные слова или оскорбления.

Игровые функции (их можно использовать, зайдя в меню «More»)

  1. Store — можно купить дополнительные опции и бонусы.
  2. Dictionary — словарь, с его помощью можно подобрать слова, если у вас возникли трудности.
  3. Tile Bag — показывает оставшиеся бонусы.
  4. Pass — пропуск хода.
  5. Swap — вместо хода можно поменять местами ненужные плитки.

Как поднять свой рейтинг? Вы можете увидеть свой рейтинг в игре, нажав на значок турнирной таблицы (Standings) в нижней части экрана.

Здесь можно увидеть ваш текущий рейтинг в общем количестве баллов, средний балл по словам. А также ваш личный рейтинг по отношению к другим игрокам, с которыми вы когда-либо соревновались. Очки начисляются за все проведенные вами игры на всех языках, на которых играли. Очки лидерства обновляются еженедельно в воскресенье.

Игровые языки:

  1. Английский.
  2. Испанский.
  3. Итальянский.
  4. Португальский.
  5. Немецкий.
  6. Французский.
  7. Британский английский.

Words With Friends 2: Советы по ведению матча

  1. Напишите слово на двух DW в пределах пяти точек друг от друга у края доски. Это даст вам больше очков.
  2. Написать маленькое слово поверх плитки TW лучше, чем уступить его своему противнику.
  3. Можно использовать префиксы, которые меняют значение слова. Префикс (приставка) — это небольшая часть слова (в основном, приставка), стоящая перед корнем и изменяющая его лексическое и грамматическое значение. Например, PACK (упаковка), если поставить перед словом слог Pre, то получиться PREPACK (полуфабрикат). Этим приемом можно свободно пользоваться в игре.
  4. PFFT, BRRR и PSST — это все допустимые четырехбуквенные слова без гласных.
  5. Плитки, оставшиеся на вашей стойке в конце игры, считаются против вас. Поэтому необходимо следить, чтобы к окончанию матча у вас не оставалось свободных букв (или их было как можно меньше).
  6. В словаре игры есть 101 двухбуквенное слово. Можно воспользоваться словарем, чтобы узнать, какие слова можно использовать. Но в словаре нет таких слов с буквой «С». Не забывайте это!
  7. Для того чтобы у вас было больше вариантов, попытайтесь собрать слово из 3 гласных и 4 согласных букв.
  8. В некоторых моментах лучше использовать замену букв, чем написать плохое слово.
  9. Есть Q, который пропускает свой U? QAT, QANAT и SHEQEL — это все допустимые слова без буквы U в них.
  10. Некоторые согласные хорошо сочетаются друг с другом. Например, C и H, C и K. Следует держать их вместе в стойке, и в нужный момент, составить хорошее слово на поле.

Самые популярные слова на WWF-это QI, TO, RE, IT и HE.

Что такое Сила слова? Это оценка вашего, на данный момент, сыгранного слова от максимально возможного балла. Чтобы активировать Силу слова, необходимо щелкнуть по значку молнии, который появляется над словом.

Здесь вы увидите силу своего слова. Вы можете изменить свое слово, если считаете, что результат вас не удовлетворяет.

Как играть серию? Эта функция работает между вами и другим игроком на текущей игре. Она не влияет на другие ваши события или прогресс в WWF2. Кроме того, полоса приходится на одного игрока, поэтому, если у вас есть несколько игр с противником, это все равно одна шкала.

Правила:

  • Вы или ваш друг должны разыграть ход в течение 24 часов.
  • На третий день непрерывной игры появится огненный смайлик (показывающий 2), указывающий на начало полосы. Число рядом со шкалой показывает количество дней серии.
  • Один из вас должен сыграть следующий ход в течение 24 часов с момента предыдущего хода, чтобы сохранить прогресс.
  • Время измеряется от сыгранного хода, а не от календарного дня.
  • Если у вас есть несколько игр с одним игроком, можно сделать ход в любой из игр, чтобы полоса оставалась живой. Вам не обязательно играть во все активные игры.
  • Если полоса скоро сгорит, то смайлик окрасится красным цветом. Это значить, что вы должны сделать свой ход в течение 3 часов. Иначе шкала обнуляется.

Слово дня. Оно включает в себя определение слова с использованием Dictionary.com в большинстве случаев в игре присутствует слово, которое редко встречается или включает в себя буквы с высокими баллами, которые вы можете посмотреть, чтобы использовать в будущем.

Чтобы использовать эту функцию, ее необходимо активировать. Сделать это можно в Профиле во вкладке Настройки. Затем следует поставить галочку напротив опции Слово дня (Word of the Day).

Бонусы

Все имеющиеся у вас бонусы можно посмотреть в режиме игры. Они отображаются сверху игрового поля.

  • Замена плитки плюс (Swap +, фиолетовый значок). Позволяет менять местами ваши текущие плитки, не теряя хода. Плитки меняются случайным образом, поэтому заранее нельзя предугадать, какие буквы выпадут. Замену можно использовать только 1 раз за ход.
  • Ретроспектива (голубой значок). Эта функция может быть использована после перемещения, позволяет увидеть лучшее возможное слово. Если значок ретроспективы становится серым после того, как вы сделали свой ход, это значить, что ход, который вы сыграли, был самым результативным из доступных.
  • Слово — радар (зеленый символ). Его можно использовать перед тем, как сделать ход, чтобы увидеть, где можно разместить большинство слов. Word Radar выделяет все места, где вы можете воспроизвести слово, используя свой текущий набор плиток. Вы можете отключить и включить выделенные области, снова нажав на значок «Word Radar», такая попытка не отнимет бонус. Если вы поменяете местами какие-либо плитки, это деактивирует слово радар, а активация его снова вычитает из вашей доступной суммы бонусов.
  • Слово — подсказка (красный символ). Используется перед ходом, выделяя область и плитки, которые могут сыграть.

Как получить бонусы? Бонусы выпадают в случайном порядке из таинственных коробок различной редкости.

Как заработать значки? Значки даются за прохождение еженедельного вызова. Все значки, которые вы заработали, можно посмотреть в своем профиле. Следует щелкнуть на последний заработанный значок, чтобы увидеть все ваши награды. Здесь же можно посмотреть еженедельный вызов.

Discovery Carousel. Карусель поможет вам найти новых соперников с похожим стилем игры, друзьями или способностями. Опция разделена на несколько пунктов:

Хотите быть лучшим в игре? Заходите на наш сайт WiseGeek.ru почаще! В своих статьях мы обобщаем советы опытных игроков, рекомендации разработчиков, официальные гайды и наши секреты прохождения игр.

  • Социальный — найдет противника с похожими друзьями или среди друзей ваших друзей.
  • Стиль воспроизведения — соперник будет подбираться по вашей скорости хода.
  • Навык — оппонент с аналогичной средней оценкой слов.
  • Новичок в игре — вы можете стать первым соперником нового игрока.

Words With Friends 2: Гайд по режимам игры

Solo Challenge

Этот режим позволяет вам играть с мастерами слова. Эти матчи позволяют двигаться вперед, и выиграть монеты и другие бонусы. Для того, чтобы попасть в этот режим, необходимо щелкнуть по «плюсику» в правом нижнем углу, а затем выбрать данную игру. Необходимо за определенное количество времени победить всех мастеров. За победу вы получите отличные награды.

Продвигаясь по режиму, вы будете встречаться с новыми, сильными соперниками. Как только вы закончите с одним мастером, через некоторое время вам станет доступен следующий противник. Если вы не хотите ждать, то можно за монеты, открыть игру с новым противником сразу.

Если вы проиграли, то не сможете какое-то время использовать данный режим. Но у вас есть возможность за монеты обнулить время ожидания, чтобы провести матч — реванш. Во время игр, есть вероятность выиграть таинственные коробки разного достоинства.

Если вы не хотите, чтобы мастера самостоятельно приглашали вас на соревнование, то вы можете отменить данную функцию. Для этого вам необходимо перейти в Настройки игры, затем зайти в раздел Вызов (Settings). Здесь есть пункт «Allow Solo Challenge WordMasters to start matches with me» (Позвольте Solo Challenge WordMasters начать матчи со мной), где следует передвинуть тумблер в состояние «выключено». Чтобы включить функцию, требуется вернуть тумблер в положение «включено».

Solo Challenge Mastery

Этот режим напоминает Solo Challenge, только противники здесь намного сильнее предыдущего режима. Чтобы стать экспертом, следует победить мастера на 3 звезды. В этом режиме вас ждут приятные призы.

После завершения 1 матча, на каждом мастере вы увидите таймер (исход матча не важен). У вас есть возможность за монеты пропустить время ожидания, и начать раунд с другим оппонентом.

Вы можете выбрать, с каким мастером слов играть матч — реванш. Следует просто зайти в меню Solo Challenge, чтобы увидеть соперников, с которыми вы ранее играли на текущей неделе. Если вы победите конкретного мастера, то получите более высокий балл, чтобы заработать больше звезд. Вы можете получить до 3 звезд от каждого мастера, с которым вы играете. Каждая звезда даст вам 1 таинственную коробку. Если у вас будет с мастером равный счет, то вы проиграли.

Lightning Round

Этот режим представляет собой быстрый командный матч в реальном времени, в котором участвуют две команды по 5 человек друг против друга. После выбора данного режима, можно присоединиться к созданной другим геймером игре, или создать новую. Для создания необходимо выбрать функцию «Создать игру», а затем выбрать режим Молниеносный круг. Через небольшой отрезок времени будут подобраны команды.

После того, как 1 игрок ходит, следующим ходит геймер из команды соперников. Каждый игрок может пропустить ход, если посчитает нужным. Победа присуждается команде, которая первая набрала необходимое количество очков. Текущий счет вашей команды будет отображаться в верхнем левом углу экрана, а счет ваших соперников в верхнем правом углу. В центре показана цифра — это количество очков, которые необходимо набрать.

Как только игра с молниеносным раундом закончится, вы можете сразу же начать играть в другую игру, нажав кнопку «Воспроизвести еще раз».

Words With Friends 2: Прохождение игровых событий

Периодически в игре появляются дополнительные игровые акции (временные события).

Word Wheel. Это событие длится 4 дня и включает в себя 12 уровней головоломки. Во время мини-игры, вы можете войти в систему, чтобы пройти 3 уровня каждый день. Необходимо завершить 12 этапов до окончания мероприятия, чтобы выиграть таинственную коробку. Требуется провести пальцем по буквам внизу экрана. Слова будут появляться над колесом по мере их написания.

Одну букву на колесе можно использовать только 1 раз. Если на колесе несколько одинаковых букв, то каждый повтор может быть применен тоже 1 раз. Для того чтобы закончить написание слова, нужно просто убрать палец от экрана. Вы можете использовать бесконечное число попыток, чтобы написать правильное слово.

Дуэли. Это событие работает 4 дня. Вы играете 1х1 против другого игрока. Требуется быстро написать слова на 3 вращающихся досках, чтобы набрать очки. Побеждает тот соперник, кто первым наберет 150 очков. Если вы не можете подобрать слово, необходимо быстро переключиться на другую доску.

Тематические события. Каждое событие ставит перед вами задачу собрать определенное количество элементов мероприятия. Акция постоянно изменяет тематику. Темы могут включать в себя праздники (погоня за пасхальными яйцами), исторические события, или просто причудливые случаи (вечеринка в пушистых свитерах). Участвовать в тематических акциях весело и поучительно.

Ежедневная игра слов. Каждый день вам будут доступны новые головоломки, которые можно решить между PvP матчами. Вам необходимо написать одно слова в серии классических заполненных игровых досок. За прохождение ежедневных раундов, вы будете получать награды, как только заполните шкалу баллов. Шкалу можно увидеть в меню события. Призы обнуляются каждые 24 часа.

Ежедневные цели. Это персонализированные задачи, которые нужно решать каждый день. Ежедневно вам необходимо выполнить 3 цели. Посмотреть миссии можно в меню «Daily Goals». Каждый вызов уникален, и адаптируется к уровню мастерства игрока. За выполнение всех 3 целей вы получите таинственную коробку, а также ежедневные очки вызова, которые помогут вам подняться в рейтинге над соперниками.

Words With Friends 2: Получаем достижения

Достижения — это один из способов вознаградить игроков за их стиль игры. Каждое действие в игре считается определенным достижением. Как только вы разблокируете определенное достижение, вам будут вручены страницы, которые заполнят ваши книги. Когда книга заполнена, открывается новая книга (уровень). Очки достижений представлены в виде страниц, а уровни — книгами.

На главной странице вашего профиля будет отображаться текущий уровень и общее количество страниц. Чтобы просмотреть достижения, необходимо нажать на свой профиль. Здесь в разделе «Информация» можно посмотреть список достижений. Здесь можно выбрать любую из категорий:

  1. Все.
  2. Слова.
  3. Игры.
  4. Испытания.
  5. Друзья.

В каждом разделе можно увидеть список достижений и их подробную информацию:

  • Название и сложность.
  • Цель.
  • Ваш прогресс.
  • Наградные Страницы.

Каждая цель имеет определенное количество страниц в качестве награды. Вы получите уведомление, как только достигните цели. В сообщении будут показаны заработанные вами очки. Чтобы повысить свой уровень достижений, требуется периодически проверять задания на достижения. Когда вы закроете все страницы в книге, вы перейдете на новый уровень.

В коллекции достижений вы можете «прочесть» книги различных жанров:

  • Романтика.
  • Ужасы.
  • Басни.
  • Фэнтези.
  • Научная фантастика.
  • Эпос.

Также можно открыть книги и других жанров, если постараться.

Words With Friends 2: Советы по стилям плиток

Стили плитки — это новая функция, которая позволяет вам играть десятками различных стилей плитки, зарабатывая материалы с помощью таинственных коробок. Как только новый стиль будет обнаружен, вы начинаете зарабатывать материалы для завершения стиля, что сделает хороший результат еще более полезным. Стили носят только эстетический характер (работает как декор).

В настройках в разделе «Show Tile Style» можно включить или отключить стилизацию ваших букв. После отключения опции, вы все равно будете получать краску для плиток. Посмотреть какие расцветки у вас уже открыты, можно в вашем профиле во вкладке «Inventory». Здесь же меняется текущий цвет букв. Вы не можете удалить стиль плитки, но можете отказаться от его использования. К сожалению, ежедневное окрашивание букв, в данный момент, невозможно.

В Профиле вы можете установить ваш любимый цвет, тогда, при открытии тайных коробок, вы с большим шансом будете получать именно ваш любимый тон.

Для сбора определенного цвета, вам требуется вначале разблокировать его. Это можно сделать, открывая таинственные коробки. Если у вашего друга уже есть ваш любимый тон, но вы его еще не получили, не стоит отчаиваться. Следует дальше открывать призы, и однажды вы получите необходимый вам цвет.

Words With Friends 2: Настройка учетной записи

Вход или создание учетной записи. Чтобы зарегистрировать ваш игровой аккаунт в системе, необходимо привязать его к учетной записи на Facebook или через вашу электронную почту.

Регистрация через почту или Facebook необходима для сохранения ваших данных, и восстановления их в случае непредвиденной ситуации. Также в игре есть возможность синхронизации на нескольких устройствах. Поэтому важно пройти регистрацию.

Просмотр вашего профиля. Чтобы посмотреть профиль необходимо просто нажать на ваше игровое имя (оно расположено вверху основного экрана). После щелчка, перед вами откроется страница Пользователя. Окно вашего профиля позволяет просматривать основную статистику игры:

  • Победы.
  • Проигрыши.
  • Средний счет игры.
  • Самый высокий счет игры.
  • Время между сыгранными плитками.
  • Уникальные слова, которые вы использовали.
  • Текущая выигрышная серия.
  • Сыгранные 7 плиток.

Чтобы изменить личные данные, необходимо тапнуть по кнопке «Редактирование», которая расположена в правом верхнем углу (карандаш на листе бумаги). Здесь вы можете поменять:

  • Имя.
  • Фамилию.
  • Страну.
  • Пол.
  • Колледж.
  • Адрес электронной почты.

Просмотр профиля соперника. Если во время матча вы захотите больше узнать о противнике, то можно нажать на его аватарку (в правом верхнем углу). После чего откроется страница с его данными. В информации вы увидите его ник, имя и фамилию, дату его начала игры, страну, из которой он родом и его пол. Возможно, вы найдете общие темы для общения. Если немного прокрутить бегунок вниз, то появиться статистические данные его игры.

Как заблокировать пользователя? Часто игроки, по каким-либо причинам, хотят ограничить свое общение с другим геймером. Так как в игре практически все матчи проходят в PvP, то разработчики предусмотрели возможность блокировки игроков. Для того что заблокировать игрока, необходимо выполнить следующие действия:

  1. Необходимо зайти в Настройки в Профиле.
  2. Затем прокрутить пункты меню вниз до опции «Управление списком блокировок» в разделе Конфиденциальность (Manage Block List).
  3. После этого действия откроется страница блокировки пользователей.
  4. Здесь вы можете выбрать игроков, с которыми у вас недавно был матч, из выпадающего списка «Выбрать пользователя» или ввести их имя игрока в окне «ввести имя пользователя».
  5. Затем следует нажать на кнопку «Заблокировать пользователя».

В этом же меню можно сообщить о нарушениях любого игрока, просто нажав на кнопку с 3 полосками в правом верхнем углу. После чего появиться контекстное меню, где необходимо выбрать пункт «Report Abuse» (Сообщить о злоупотреблении).

Есть и еще одни способ блокировки неугодного геймера. Вы также можете блокировать противников сразу же через чат. Для этого просто требуется нажать на пузырь чата вашей игровой доски. Далее следует щелкнуть по кнопке с 3 кругами в правом верхнем углу. Эта кнопка открывает Параметры чата, где необходимо выбрать команду «Блокировать игрока». Здесь же можно сообщить о злоупотреблении, выбрав соответствующий пункт.

Как изменить звук? В Настройках Профиля можно включить или отключить звуки убрав или поставить галочку:

  1. Notification Sounds — звуки уведомлений.
  2. Game Sounds — звуки игры.
  3. Vibration — вибрация.

Управление уведомлениями на iOS:

  • Следует зайти в раздел «Настройки».
  • Выбрать пункт «Уведомления»
  • Здесь необходимо выбрать приложение WWF2.
  • Далее требуется включить или выключить опцию «Разрешить уведомления».

Управление уведомлениями на Android:

  • Следует зайти в раздел «Настройки».
  • Выбрать пункт «Приложения» или «Диспетчер приложений».
  • Здесь необходимо выбрать приложение WWF2.
  • Поставить или убрать флажок напротив команды «Показывать уведомления».

      But remember that if she played the last turn, you lost the points value of any tiles remaining in your rack, and she gained those points. So if you had letters totalling 15 points, your final score would go down from 299 to 284. Her final score would be what she actually earned plus your 15 points you forfeited. Hence her 303 pts.

    The only way to accomplish these word scores is by playing against yourself and setting yourself up. However, it is a really fun challenge and very difficult to do. I recently set myself up for 3 15 letter words in one play. Took me about a week to get it right. You have to plan so that you don’t run out of letters and you have to find compound words that fit just right.

    ventriloquizing, for 43 points
    hyperimmunizing, for 42
    psychoanalyzing, for 41 points

    I’ve been using this word search helper to find them. These are just basic points, without counting all the extras by using all letters or placing letters in special tile spaces. :)

    I always forget Words With Friends lets you join up words that interconnect with one another. There’s a particular player on my «Friends Leaderboard» who regularly scores over 2 million points a week. They must therefore be playing 24/7 to score that in a week. As that’s how long each tournament currently lasts.

Also have experienced certain games not being played until the new week to boost points. thank God this is just a game. Retired from a career in the medical field for 26 years and have experienced clinicians doing whatever they could do to get 200% productivity. Including a nurse driving up to a house while I was finishing up with a patient and driving off before I left and counting the visit. Getting the vital signs from my documentation. And she was praised for her productivity during a weekly staff meeting. What a great injustice to the patient.

    I disagree with your assessment, Tippy.
    Using the word ‘jew’, outside its etymological origin, as the VERB meaning to ‘bargain for a lower price’ is not necessary racist, cruel or offensive. It can be offensive, but so can any word be so in an offensive context. In my experience of its actual use, the word’s context did not relate with racism, cruelty, or offensive intent. On the other hand, I’ve heard many words that are accepted in WWF and Scrabble that have been used in a racist, cruel and offensive manner. If one was to deny a word as it usage as such, there would be no word playable in the games. One could equally proclaim that those who denied these words to those who would play them are being racist, cruel and offensive.

    In Scrabble, years ago, you could use both jew and jews, but not as proper nouns. They were used as adjectives. In the Scrabble Dictionary (and still in the current Webster’s Dictionary), the word jew is used as a adjective, meaning to bargain down a price with. As he or she «jewed» down a person to get a lower price. I’m not Jewish, but I think using the word as in the context I listed, is racist, cruel, and offensive use of the word. It should not be used in Scrabble or Words for Friends. I’m glad to see they don’t accept it as anything other than a proper noun.

    Agree Jason. The word I sent in for the highest single word high score with only one word «SPEAKING» was the word and extended from a Double Word to a Triple Triple Word, giving me 185 points.

      Really? Though the word can be found in a major dictionary, it is 34 letters in length. Scrabble and most Scrabble-clones use a 15×15 board, which double would permit a 30 letter word, but not the given word. Even one SuperScrabble board (21×21) is not large enough. The minimum size board needed for two iPads, with one board presented on each, would be with the Swedish Scrabble-clone, Alfapet, which is uses a 17×17 board.
      Given enough tiles for preparation and play, one could play the word:-
      (SUPER)C(AL)I(FRAG)I(LIS)T(ICE)X(PEAL)I(DOC)I(OUS). Thus it is plausable, SID.

    Ok. Two players sit side by side and spend hours coming up with huge word scores. Post them as if they actually created them during a game. The above game is an example of a bogus game creation.

      I agree. I sat here and analized this board. NOBODY would make the moves required to make this work. they had to play a couple words at like 3-5 letters scoring maybe 9 points or so, then keep drawing till they received the proper letters to play a specific word on the next one to use all 7 tiles to make an 8 letter word. Then each move after that consisted of adding «ED» at the end, then adding «RE» to the beginning, nobody would make a retarded move like these…we always go for bigger moves and/or attempt to block the opponents moves.

    Very little room for error in its formation, yet it is possible to increase the number of points scored in a single play of «Words with Friends» to 1687!
    Of the layout I offered for the 1686 high score, the high scoring words OXYPHENBUTAZONE, CHLOROPHYLLOUS and JACKHAMMERED would remain, but instead of using the crosswords EAVESDROPPERS, OVERSTUFFED, SQUABBLED, and TWEEZED, the crosswords WINDOWPANE, OVERSTAFFED, OVERDUBBED and QUARTZOSE could be used. Both set of words and single letters above the OXYPHENBUTAZONE line (CHLOROPHYLL, A, WINDOW, OVERSTAFF, OVERDUB, QUART, and JACKHAMMER) and below the line (US, ANE, D, ED, OSE, D) may be formed and interconnected with the remaining letters with the upper limit of 7 tiles played per turn — yet, I believe, would be more difficult than my 1686 proposal (which Tony Hall [still pending] successfully used).

      There is too little room, as there is an error. Failed to interconnect the Y in OXYPHENBUTAZONE. So I went back to the board and found another substitute for TWEEZED, keeping the «original» EAVESDROPPERS, OVERSTUFFED and SQUABBLED. TWEEZED, with the Z on the triple-letter square is a 40-point crossword. Yet, DOWNZONE is a 43-point crossword. With the requirement of O’s for the crosswords, the O in EIDOLA needs the blank. This removes the connective word YUAN, as the Y was represented by the blank (a blank is still needed for the initial P in EAVESDROPPERS). Luckily, there is are connective words between SQUAB and UTA that are available …. RUANA and the vowel-lacking BRR. A much tighter-forming game, but a 1689 possible high score.

      Just goes to show that the WwF lexicon is inferior to that of Scrabble’s. Their claim that except for the removed derogatory words and the like, and not counting the addition of several of SOWPODS two-letter words, that it is more extensive is false. It may be that my 1686 solution might be the maximum possible for the current WwF lexicon. Of course, it is still possible there is a combination that might prove better.

      As RecordSetter does not show any of my pending attempts under this category (except, I believe, in my own profile), I will note here that the highest possible scoring play I have been able to construct on a WWF board is 1688. Six of the seven crosswords are the same as Tony Hall has used in my 1686 point solution, but with a few changes the crossword EX can be made to be EXpAT, permitting the additional 2 points. A possible, but unlikely, higher WWF score may still exist with the current acceptable words.

    I kept finding I had been using some word not recognized by the ENABLE (ie., Words With Friends) Lexicon – such as, UNBLOCKABLE, ZOOGAMETES, and BIOEQUIVALENCY. Yet, I finally discovered a solution where each words is recognized by the Words With Friends lexicon and that would have a higher score than the current record of 1674 points.

    I…I GOT IT! – 1684 points (see below):

    C _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
    H _ _ _ _ U _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ J
    L I V E _ N _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A

    (In the following list of plays, the letter-number before a period indicates the player (A or B) and his turn in which he made the play. An asterisk following the letter represents a blank tile played to represent the letter, and lowercase letters represent tiles played on a prior turn.

      Looks like I was wrong again. Lexical Word Finder discovered for me that UNDERSTAFF is missing in the ENABLE word list. The words, UNDERSTAFFED and UNDERSTAFFING, are apparantly not verbs in the list. The first would be an adjective and the second a noun, both formed as if the verb existed. UNDERSTAFFING is attested as a noun by the inclusion of UNDERSTAFFINGS in the lexicons’ word list.

      Found a fix. With a few changes to some of the minor words, and replacing UNDERSTAFFED with OVERSTUFFED a solution is achieved…and with an increase in 1 point to the score to boot. The record high solution now stands at 1685 points.

    A higher score is possible using valid, though unacceptable words (i.e., words not presently in the WWF lexicon but can be found in at least one of the major dictionaries.) For the following, a blank is represented as a lowercase letter in the played word.

    a1.OKE b1.LOCKABLE a2.ALE b2.VIEWERS,VALE,WOKE [BINGO!] a3.WAR b3.REVEIWED a4.NA b4.TRANSIT,ANA [BINGO!] a5.REAR b5.UTA,SUE,IT,TA a6.TOT,TAT b6.OOSPERMS [BINGO!] a7.SOD b7.QUALIFY,SODA [BINGO!] a8.YA b8.QUALIFYING a9.UN b9.CHILIDOG [BINGO!] a10.iN,iT b10.ED,RE,ED
    a11.AR,AN b11.FAr,rYA a12.MA b12.REJUDGING [BINGO!] a13.SOTH b13.OXYPHENBUTAZONE (1314), FOREJUDGING(90), MAXED(16), PREVIEWED(28), REVIEWERS(16), UNBLOCKABLE (56), ZOOSPERMS(44), REQUALIFYING(93) BINGO!
    = 1692
    Game ends as player b has no more tiles on his rack and there are no more tiles to draw. Player a has HHTT remaining on his rack, thus receiving a -10 penalty and awarding a +10 bonus to player b.
    Final scores:
    Player a: 58
    Player b: 2495 (9 BINGOS!)
    Highest scoring play: b13, for 1692 points (1702, if including the end-game bonus).
    Score difference: 2437.

    How many records here?

      REVEIWED is also one of the nine BINGOs.

      I believe all the words in the above solution can be found in the WWF lexicon. As I mentioned, a higher score is possible, especially if one is permitted real words like the word pair ZOOPHYTIC and OOPHYTIC. ZOOPHYTIC is not presently in the WWF lexicon, though both words are in the Collins Dictionary.

    Isaac Adams score of 1670 is 1 point short of what is possible with the given words. One of the two blanks was used as an E and the other a D. Given that the play netted 1670 and not 1671, the D in FAD/DYE was the blank used as a D, thus not affecting the score. The ‘E’-blank could be in either PRECONCEIVED, ZOOSPERMS, or REESTABLISHED (not the first E of the latter word). 1671 is not the highest score possible, as I have discovered a solution that scores 1700 (using standard online dictionaries, and not the incomplete word list from ENABLE). The words formed in the final play of the solution: OXYPHENBUTAZONE, QUADRUMANOUS, INTERCOMPANY, PROFESSED, THOROuGHBRED, OVERWEIGhT, BLITZES, and JACKLIGHTED. (QUADRUMAN and JACKLIGHTED, both words found in main online dictionaries, are missing from the current release of ENABLE).

      Correction. (I dislike not being able to edit posts that accididently get submitted too early, causing additional need of corrections.) The total is is only slightly better than 1671. My recalculations make it 1675. Though I have another possible solution that is around 1683.

      I agree this is fake, the points don’t seem to add up either. And why don’t they let you see a picture for more than the few seconds the video plays? So you can’t study it. Easy to fake the video.

    Crap score because it’s set up and not done in a real match. You could never do this in a real match. It’s cool to see just how high a score you can get but should have separate category for real game. I guess it would be to easy to cheat and say it was real.

    I managed to set up a similar situation on words with friends. Of course, I played both sides. We both took turns setting up the initial board. Then with one side, I swapped letters trying to obtain «O,X,P,B,Z,E» and with the other side I swapped off «X,P,B,Z» if they came my way. It worked! At the end, I was able to play OXYPHENBUTAZONE for a meager 1372 points.
    This might possible in a real game. If you manage to play OXY, HEN, and UTA in the correct positions, you may be able to draw «O,P,Z,O,N,E» for a 650 point word. This strategy should be used in combination with diversionary tactics on the opposite end of the board.

    Dave Griese: While you’re correct that ‘oosperm’ is the standard pluralization of itself, it appears that ‘oosperms’ is also technically correct, albeit slightly archaic. The site below cites several uses of it in reputable publications around the turn of the 20th century:

    http://www.lexic.us/definition-of/oosperms

    Also, Scrabble considers it to be a legal word to play:

    http://www.scrabblefinder.com/word/oosperms/

    B Skain/Alexander Shaytoon/Sean O’Driscoll: Where are you all seeing 7 R’s / an R used as a blank? I’ve gone through several times and only count 6, and they all have the ‘1’ in the corner indicating they’re non-blanks:

    1. Forejudging
    2. Preconceived/Er
    3. Reestablished/Ora

If you click on the word, it will give you an Word with Friends board example, where the word «conceptualizing» is already plugged in. What this guy did, was he plug in the same letter from the example board on Lexical into a game vs himself (player2)»create game > Pass and Play» on his Iphone.

    Ok after seen this, I had to do some research on my own and come out with the truth. There is a website called Lexical Word Finder which most «Word with Friends» cheaters like me use. You place all the letters that are on the board, and the letter on your rack, and click on search, and it gives you the best possible word to plug into the board. So I plug in all the letters just as the one on the picture, and place the letter «O,X,P,E,B,Z,E» on my rack and click on search. For my surprised, The word OXYPHENBUTAZONE did show up as my best possible word, BUT it was worth «267» which I still think is pretty impressive, but as you can see even if it is true, there is no possible way that you can get 1,672 points out of this word. The word is an Inflammatory drug use to treat arthritis and bruises.

    There is no way in hell that the total points of this word(s) could be played as one word. If you played OXYPHEN that is possible unless the word is invalid. I have to assume that BUTAZONE has to be played thusly: OXY PHEN BUTA ZONE, If it is played that way. I doubt if the combination of those words played separately and be valid. It is either photo-shopped or the players hacked into the main frame to block the INVALID program. Plus the fact that a word placed on a TW space only counts once and NOT on consecutive plays to adjoin the existing word. It’s amusing but is entirely bogus.

    Joshua — see thread below. There is no clear way to figure out if/when people have set up their plays to get a high score. As a result, we accept all submissions, even if they’ve clearly been set up.

    It’s fairly simple. Play «conceive» off of the «C» (oncieve is seven letters), then add the «pre» and the «d» on the end in the next move.

LETS SAY THAT PRE WAS ALREADY DOWN HOW CAN YOU ACHIEVED PRECONCEIVED BY ADDING EIGHT LETTERS WHEN THE BOARD ONLY HOLDS SEVEN. WAKE UP PEOPLE IT’S JUST ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT HACKING ONLINE GAMES.

    Of course it was set up… and maybe they’re not arguing that at all. All they claim to have done here is gotten the single highest word score ever. I guess they did.
    What’s troubling is that it’s these kinds of players who «cheat» when actually playing against others online or on their phones by using word generators. Arguing that is pointless. I KNOW you cheat.
    The real test is getting these kinds of players on a physical scrabble board. They’d be absolutely eaten alive without the trial and error allowed in WWF.
    All in all, and while this must have taken some time to stage, it’s impressive that they were actually able to do it.

    …but it’s NOT a real score in real game. :)

    Alem, in Words With Friends it is possible to continually exchange letters with your opponent until you have the right ones, so it’s quite simple to just keep exchanging tiles until you have it right. No hate here, just a fan of the game and well aware of how it works. :)

    Has anyone noticed the first two words played in this game? Either this is tongue in cheek and a complete setup, or a series of coincidences combined with sophomoric humour with a rarity of occurrence that is astoundingly monumental.

    This looks like it was not played online, that it was played in two player mode. In that case, the board could have been set up — maybe we should think about adding the criteria that it needs to be between two online players? That seems fair.

    He only has 410 points event though it says played for 1670. I don’t think he even took the time to exchange letters and set up the board. Looks more like he just photoshopped it to save a few hours manipulating the game. Either way the board was obviously intentionally built. This could be the highest single scoring move possible in WWF but definitely not the highest scoring move played in a WWF game.

    Eli, I respectfully disagree. How can we ever draw a line between «set up» plays and «genuine» plays? In an online game like Words With Friends, I don’t think it’s possible.

    I do believe a category like Highest Single Move Score In A Tournament Game Of Scrabble can live alongside this category, but think a creatively conceptualized feat like this one deserves recognition. Congrats, Trevor G.

    I think any regular player of Scrabble would agree that it was definitely set up, and I would suggest does not merit a place as a true URDB record. Just go to facebook’s Scrabble application and check out the global record holders for highest score for a single word — it’s amazing how many people have managed to play OXYPHENBUTAZONE across three triple word squares for 1778 points.

  • Sun, 16 May 2010 17:09:33 GMT

    It would be trivial to do this. Just play a game «against a friend» (not a random player), and just keep putting the words on there and swapping tiles until you get the letters you need. You plan the whole board beforehand, knowing the inventory of the letters. Yes, it takes a long time (and a lot of swapping), but it isn’t really that hard.

    Jessica, nice analysis. I’m not sure where I stand on whether it was «set up» or not. Even if that was the motivation, it would take quite a bit of skill and forethought to pull it off. I’m trying to think through how you’d do it.

  • Wed, 21 Apr 2010 21:19:14 GMT

    While the screen shot proves this word was indeed played, looking at the way the board is arranged, I would have to assume that this play was set up. First off, this was one of the last plays of the game, so it appears the players spent the entire game setting up the board and saving certain letters. Secondly, this word played off the j,q x and z. Not to mention that the “z” was placed on a triple letter block so it was tripled in the word zag as well as well as the word commercializing. Then because the word commercializing crossed two triple word blocks and one double word block, the “z” alone was worth 570 points. This same set up applies to the “m” which was worth 228 points. And the “q” was set up so it could be doubled as well as the “j” being set up so it could be tripled. Either this is a one in a million stroke of luck, or two players conspired to set it up.

Your Ultimate Guide to Winning at Words With Friends

words with friends played on an iphone

Thanks for taking the time to check out my Words With Friends Tips and Strategy page. As you can see, I’m a geek in many ways, not just photography. I started playing Words With Friends on my iPhone about a year ago, and I’ve been addicted ever since. In the time I’ve been playing Words With Friends, I’ve developed a few strategies of my own to share with you here today.

What is Words With Friends?

Words With Friends is a crossword game made for mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, Android), and is based on the popular board game Scrabble. The basic directions can be found HERE. There are a few key differences between Words With Friends and Scrabble that I’d like to point out. It’s important to recognize these differences because you might be able to use them to your advantage. 

  1. You are not playing face to face with your opponents. You could plausibly be playing against someone on the other side of the world!
  2. A game is not completed in one sitting. It can last hours, days, weeks, or even months.


  1.  There are no challenges. When you are playing a word, you can use trial and error as many times as you need, until you find a word that works.
  2.  The tile distribution and count is slightly different. See the chart below:

Words With Friends vs. Scrabble Tile Scores

Here are the distribution and score differences between the tiles in Words With Friends and Scrabble. Click on the chart to enlarge it.
  1.  While both boards are 15×15 squares, the layout is a bit different, as shown in the images below:

Wording With Friends – Ground Rules

Keeping a 2-Letter Word List

Because of some of the new dynamics mentioned above, the friends that I play with regularly and I have agreed to a few rule clarifications for ease of play. First, we are allowed to keep a list of all 2 letter words. Since we are able to use trial and error to find words, it saves a ton of time to know what all the two-letter words are. If you use a list long enough, you will probably end up memorizing it anyway.

Sometimes the makers of Words with Friends add and delete words from its dictionary. Click over to my article 2 Letter Words For Scrabble and Words With Friends to view an updated (2020) list of two-letter words.

Keeping Track of Missing Tiles

Second, we have deemed it acceptable to keep track of the missing tiles if we like – much like counting cards in Blackjack. We figure that since there can be a relatively large amount of time between turns, why not use the time to keep track of what tiles have and have not been played yet. None of us ever really do this early in a game, or even in the middle. But as the game is nearing the end and it looks like it could be particularly close, we will definitely do it. I’m not sure if there is a rule that addresses this in regular Scrabble, but we’ve made it clear that it’s ok here. I put together a spreadsheet that takes care of this for me. Click the link below and you can use it too! You will need at least Microsoft Excel 97 to use the spreadsheet.

Handy Dandy Words With Friends Letter Counter (clicking this link will download a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet)



It’s a good thing to agree on a few ground rules with the friends you play with regularly. In my group of friends, we have deemed it acceptable to keep the two-letter word list and keep track of tiles if we want, but NOT acceptable to use Words With Friends cheats, word generators or any other word lists, which are readily available online. If you and your friends agree that it’s ok to use word generators, my favorite one is wineverygame.com. I’m sure there are plenty of other good ones.

As I said before, in the time that I’ve been playing, I’ve developed some of my own Words With Friends tips and strategy that I will share with you here. Hopefully it will give you an edge against your opponents as well.

Lay *Along* Beats Lay Across

Let’s say your opponent plays AROSE. You have letters in your tray that spell “POWER”. You could use the “O” in AROSE and lay the P, W, E and R downward across it, for a cool 11 points…OR…you could you could lay POWER along the top of AROSE to create multiple new words (POWER, PA, OR, WO, ES, and RE) for a total of 26 points!

Start Small

It never fails, you play a 5 letter word to start the game, and your experienced opponent puts a nice lay-along next to it, effectively scoring double for his word and single for YOUR word too. When I start a game, I like to start with a 2 letter word, and use that turn to dump my two least desirable letters. Let your opponent be the first to open the board up.

Work the Colored Squares

The best way to maximize the value of your tiles is to play them on the colored squares. On the board, you can find Double Letter (DL), Double Word (DW), Triple Letter (TL), and Triple Word (TW). I like to call the TL and TW the “High-Dollar” Squares. Always look for the accessibility of these squares on the board – even before you examine your tray. Look for plays using these squares and try to work your letters to fit those plays. Even better, try and find plays that combine multiple letter scores with multiple word scores. Let’s say you play the word PARK on 4 Blank squares. You will score 11 points. Now let’s say you play where the “P” is on a TL and the “K” is on a TW. The score for this play will jump all the way up to 57 points!



Look for Vowels Next to Colored Squares.

Let’s say your opponent plays PLANE, and there is a TL directly above the “A”. You notice this, then upon examining your tray you notice that you have a “Z”. Remembering from the 2 letter word list that ZA is a valid word, you know you can play the “Z” on the TL, to create ZA for a total score of 31 points. Now you take it one step further and notice that you also have an “E” and an “N” in your tray. Now you can play ZEN in a lay-along above PLANE, creating ZA, ZEN, EN and NE, for a total of 70 points!

Bingo Was His Name-O

When you play all 7 tiles in your tray in one turn, it’s called a “Bingo.” Not only do you get the points for the word(s) you made, but you also get a 35 point bonus! If you can mix that with a few colored squares in the right places, then it’s not out of the question to score in the 100’s on one single play! One of the keys to winning games consistently is learning how to make Bingos. It takes a bit of practice, but the more you play, the more you will develop strategies that will help you create more and more Bingos. When I first started playing, I was lucky to average one Bingo for every 10 games played. Now I’d say I average about 9 Bingos for every 10 games, and I’m continuing to improve. Read on for some of my strategies for creating Bingos.

Defense Wins Games

Just as you will be looking for plays around the High-Dollar squares, your experienced opponent will be doing the same. Don’t give him the opening, even if it means you have to play a lesser word elsewhere. Unless I know I’m going to score big with my play, I generally try to avoid opening the TW TL areas for play. Even a 40 point play might not be worth opening up one of those areas, knowing that he could potentially score 50 or even more points by taking full advantage of the opening.

S’s are Precious. And so are BLANKs

The “S” and the BLANK are important tiles in the game. The “S” is important because it can be played at the end of so many words. If you have a word in your tray that contains an “S”, then you can place it at the end of a word that is already on the board, and play the remaining tiles for your word around it. Let’s say your opponent played COFFEE. In your tray you notice the word VEST. You could play VEST across one of the E’s in COFFEE, for a total of 8 points. I consider this to be wasting your S. If you look closer, you could put the S at the end of COFFEE and play the V, E and T around it, and score 24 points, with COFFEES and VEST! Mix in a few colored squares and you can easily clear 30 points.

Many people like to employ this strategy with the “Y” as well. I personally find that there aren’t nearly as many opportunities to use the “Y” in this way as there are for the “S”, so I generally treat the “Y” as just another letter. The BLANKS can work in the same way. Not only can you use them as an “S” to connect two words, but you can also use them as the missing link for a word you are working on in your tray. I’d say the BLANK is responsible for about 50% of all the Bingos I make. As a general rule of thumb, I try not to use an S or a BLANK unless they are directly responsible for scoring at least 30 points for me.

Swapping Tiles: All or Nothing

Swapping tiles is an art. Generally speaking, I swap tiles when there are no plays that I can make that will get me more than 15 or so points, and the letters in my tray don’t figure to offer any more help in the near future. Never try to swap tiles in order to create a word that you are trying to formulate in your tray. That will only lead to heartache, trust me. When I need to swap, I like to swap ALL 7 tiles, with a few exceptions: I never swap out the following letters:

S: See above
BLANK: See above
J, Q, X, and Z: these tiles are crucial in determining the winner. Never give them up if you have them. Giving them up gives your opponent a chance to use them with the colored squares for maximum value. I’d rather play one of those tiles on a blank square just to get rid of it before I see my opponent take advantage of it on the High-Dollar squares.
“ER” or “ED”: I’m a big fan of ER and ED. These combinations are very versatile in that they can be attached to the beginning or end of many 5 letter words, to make a Bingo. I would say that those two combinations are responsible for helping me with the other 50% of my Bingos.



Keep The Letters Moving

A high tile turnover rate is good for your tray. It increases the chance of getting J, Q, X and Z, and decreases your opponent’s chance of getting them and using them against you. If all other variables are equal (points, leave, etc.), play the bigger word over the smaller word if you have a choice.

Saving Letters Is Dangerous

It’s generally not a good idea to save letters while you wait on other letters to show up for a word. I’m not going to lie and say that I’ve never done it, but I do try and keep it at a minimum. Sometimes it is just too tempting. Obviously you have the best chances of a good score when you have all seven letters to choose from on each turn. For each letter that you hold back, you are potentially limiting your score for that play. If you do choose to save letters, try and keep it at a minimum, and if the letters you need don’t show up within 2 or 3 turns, cut your losses and stop waiting.

Further Reading on 2-Letter Words

It’s important to know the two-letter words because they can be used in a pinch, or as a connector to a much larger word. For reference, I’ve written an article that I like to call The Ultimate 2 Letter Words List 🙂 (updated in 2020).

Conclusion

Hopefully you found these Words With Friends tips useful. I’ll continue to make additions/changes to this document as my strategy and skill level evolves. Let me know if you disagree with anything I said, or if you find any errors.

Good Luck, and Happy Wording!
