WWF Strategy Tips

• Triple Word Scores (TW): WWF has Triple Word squares near the corners — hitting two TW squares with one word (a "TW-TW" play) can score enormous points.
• Build on short words: WWF accepts many 2- and 3-letter words. Knowing these opens up more board positions.
• Save your high-value tiles: J (10 pts), Q (10 pts), X (8 pts), and Z (10 pts) are game-changers when paired with a bonus square.
• Check both scores: A word that scores high in Scrabble may score even higher in WWF, or vice versa. Use the dual scores shown here to make the best choice for whichever game you're playing.
