7 Scrabble Strategy Tips for Higher Scores

1

Target Premium Squares

Double Letter (DL), Triple Letter (TL), Double Word (DW), and Triple Word (TW) squares multiply your score. A TW square can triple your entire word!

2

Save High-Value Letters

Letters like Q (10 pts), Z (10 pts), X (8 pts), and J (8 pts) are worth more on premium squares. Don't waste them on single-letter plays.

3

Learn 2-Letter Words

Essential words like QI, ZA, XI, and JO let you play parallel to existing words and score big.

4

Go for Bingos (50pt Bonus)

Using all 7 tiles earns a 50-point bonus! Common bingo stems like SATINE, RETINA, and TISANE form many 7-letter words.

5

Hook Existing Words

Add a letter to existing words to score in multiple directions. Add S to HOOK to make HOOKS and your new word simultaneously.

6

Balance Your Rack

Keep a mix of vowels and consonants. Trading tiles is sometimes worth skipping a turn to build a better rack.

7

Use Our Word Unscrambler

If you need to find words with partial letters or explore all possibilities, our word unscrambler tool offers more flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions About Scrabble

How are Scrabble word scores calculated?
Each letter has a point value: A=1, B=3, C=3, D=2, E=1, F=4, G=2, H=4, I=1, J=8, K=5, L=1, M=3, N=1, O=1, P=3, Q=10, R=1, S=1, T=1, U=1, V=4, W=4, X=8, Y=4, Z=10. The score shown is the base word score without board multipliers. Premium squares (DL, TL, DW, TW) can significantly increase your final score.
Does this Scrabble helper work for Words With Friends?
Yes! While WWF has slightly different point values (e.g., J=10 in WWF vs J=8 in Scrabble), all words valid in Scrabble are also valid in Words With Friends. Our tool shows Scrabble scores, but the words work for both games and other word puzzle apps.
What is a bingo in Scrabble?
A bingo (or bonus) is when you use all 7 tiles from your rack in a single play. This earns a 50-point bonus on top of the word score, often resulting in 70-100+ point plays. Our tool helps you find 7-letter words for bingos by sorting results by length.
How do I use the pattern field for board positions?
Use the pattern to match existing letters on the board. Enter known letters in their positions and ? for empty squares. For example, "?A?E" finds 4-letter words with A in position 2 and E in position 4, like BAKE, CAKE, or MAKE.
How do blank tiles work in Scrabble scoring?
Blank tiles are wild cards that can represent any letter, but they score 0 points. Use ? or * in our tool to represent blanks. The resulting word score won't include points for the blank tile positions. Blanks are best used for bingos or high-value letter placements.
What are the highest-scoring Scrabble words?
Some of the highest-scoring playable words include QUIZZIFY (41 pts), JAZZILY (35 pts), JACUZZI (34 pts), FRIZZY (30 pts), and QUIZZING (28 pts). Actual game scores can be much higher with premium square multipliers.
What 2-letter words should I memorize for Scrabble?
Essential 2-letter words include QI (11 pts), ZA (11 pts), XI (9 pts), XU (9 pts), JO (9 pts), and AX (9 pts). There are about 100 valid 2-letter words in Scrabble. Memorizing them lets you play parallel to existing words for big scores.
What dictionaries are used in Scrabble tournaments?
North American tournaments use TWL (Tournament Word List), while international tournaments use SOWPODS (a combination of TWL and the British OSW). Our word finder includes both dictionaries, ensuring all words are valid for competitive play worldwide.
