Essential Competitive Tactics
- Master Two-Letter Defense: Two-letter words (such as QI, ZA, JO, AX, XI, and EX) are the backbone of high-scoring turns. Playing along existing words in parallel allows you to score points across multiple words in a single move.
- Handling the Q Without a U: If you are stuck with a Q and no U, playable WWF options include QI, QAT, QOPH, TRANQ, and SUQ.
- Save Your S Tiles for Multipliers: An S tile allows you to create parallel plays and pluralize existing high-point words while reaching bonus Triple Word Score (TWS) and Double Word Score (DWS) squares.
- Protect Board Anchor Squares: Never open up a path to a Triple Word Score unless your play scores at least 35 points. Playing safe, shorter defensive words is often better than giving your opponent access to high-multiplier lanes.
