Score-ranked Words With Friends ideas
Words With Friends looks like Scrabble, but its letter values are different — so a play that is average in Scrabble can be a big scorer in WWF, and vice versa. This Words With Friends cheat scores candidate words you can make from your tiles on the WWF scale and ranks the biggest plays first, so you can compare likely high-scoring moves.
How to use it
Enter the tiles on your rack, using ? for a blank. Results are sorted by their Words With Friends score. To place a word on the board, open Filters: use Starts with or Ends with to connect to a tile already down, Must include to build through a specific letter, or Length to fit the available space.
Where WWF scoring differs from Scrabble
- J is worth 10 in Words With Friends (versus 8 in Scrabble), so J words score even bigger here.
- Common letters shift too: in WWF, letters like H and W carry different values, which changes which plays are optimal.
- Chase the 35-point bonus for using all seven tiles — filter by Length 7 to find one.
Because of these differences, always use the Words With Friends tool (not the Scrabble one) when you are playing WWF — the ranking will genuinely be different.
Scrabble and Words With Friends scoring reference
| Letter | Scrabble | Words With Friends |
|---|---|---|
| J | 8 | 10 |
| H | 4 | 3 |
| W | 4 | 4 |
| Z | 10 | 10 |
| Blank tile | 0 | 0 |
| All-rack bonus | 50 points for seven tiles | 35 points for seven tiles |
These are base tile and rack-bonus values. Premium board squares, connected words and each game’s accepted-word list can change the final playable score. A blank represents a letter but contributes zero tile points.
