The Ultimate Scrabble® Cheat?

Some would call this the ultimate Scrabble® cheat. Others could call this the ultimate Words With Friends™ cheat. We prefer not to think of our users as cheaters, but as game strategists and word researchers. There are many plays you can make, so many that you can't look at it all, so just look at the highest scoring plays. Use Litscape.com Word Finder Tools to find the best words.

How To Find Words With The Highest Scores In Scrabble® And Words With Friends™

The score of a word in these games is much more than the sum of the letters; it varies dramatically depending on where it is played on the board. A word play is a combination of word and board position. The double word, triple word, double letter and triple letter squares alter the scores significantly. Although the board layouts, letter frequencies and letter scores differ between the two games, the strategies are the same. Develop your play strategy. By studying the highest scoring words, a few strategies of awesome game play are obvious:

  1. Place your high value letters on double letter or triple letter squares. The letter "Q" placed on a triple-letter square will contribute 30 points towards your score, whereas an "A" in the same location will only give you 3 points.
  2. Play your word on a word multiplier square. Triple word squares are great and we all strive to hit them, but if you can span two double word squares, this has a four-fold word multiplying effect. In Scrabble®, it could get you the seven letter bonus as well.
  3. Maximize the letter multiplier squares at the same time as you hit a word multiplier square. The resulting scores are exceptional.
  4. Get the bonus. Playing all seven of your letters entitles you to a bonus which adds 50 points to your score in Scrabble® or 35 points in Words With Friends™.
  5. Use the best play word tools at Litscape.com. Study extensive lists of the highest scoring words and their placements, because the score is much more than the sum of the letters. Develop your own strategies.

Using the letters you have drawn, play the best word you can in a position on the board that will get you the most points possible. If you can maximize each turn, you will have a great final score.

Bear in mind that we do not have official lists for either game. We use the terms Scrabbleable or Friendable to indicate that you can make the word in the game using the letter set of the game and it will fit on the board. Whether or not a word is legal to play in the game is entirely your call.

The Best Plays Word Finder Tools at Litscape.com find all words that match what you are looking for, and calculates the scores of these words at all board positions in the games. This is an enormous amount of data, and because of this, the tools do not return all scores, only the highest scores.

The litscape default wordlist is the best one, as all words have been carefully checked. We have lists targeted towards Scrabble® and Words With Friends™, meaning you can make these words with all of the letters in the game and they fit on the boards. Keep in mind we have no official lists, so whether or not you play a word is entirely your call. The mammoth lists have a lot of words but they are amalgamation of other lists from here and there, so it contains many garbage words. The enable lists are just that, but I have found questionable entries here too. The word lists have both censored and uncensored forms, so pick the one you are most comfortable with. There is also a list for baby names. It consists of 144,359 names obtained from government sources worldwide.
