What is Words With Friends?
Words With Friends (WWF) is a popular multiplayer word game available on mobile and web platforms. Created by Zynga and launched in 2009, it quickly became one of the most downloaded word games in the world. The game is essentially a modern, digitally-native take on Scrabble, designed for asynchronous play with friends, family, or random opponents.
In Words With Friends, two players take turns forming words on a 15×15 grid. Like Scrabble, each tile has a point value and the board has premium squares (double/triple letter and word) that multiply scores. The key difference from Scrabble is the social and asynchronous nature — you can play a turn and your opponent responds hours or days later.
WWF uses the same tile values as Scrabble, but with a slightly different dictionary and word list. Our WWF cheat tool uses a comprehensive word list that covers the most commonly used words in both games.

Words With Friends Scoring System
WWF uses exactly the same point values as Scrabble. Here's the complete tile value reference:
| Points | Letters |
|---|---|
| 1 | A, E, I, O, U, L, N, S, T, R |
| 2 | D, G |
| 3 | B, C, M, P |
| 4 | F, H, V, W, Y |
| 5 | K |
| 8 | J, X |
| 10 | Q, Z |
| 0 | Blank (2 tiles) |
Double Letter (DL)
Letter value × 2
Triple Letter (TL)
Letter value × 3
Double Word (DW)
Word score × 2
Triple Word (TW)
Word score × 3
Bingo bonus: Playing all 7 tiles in one turn earns a 50-point bonus. A 7-letter word on a Triple Word square can easily score 80-150 points.
Top Tips for Words With Friends
1. Prioritize premium squares strategically: Triple Word squares are the most valuable real estate on the board. However, playing aggressively for them early can backfire if you open up access for your opponent.
2. Learn the obscure high-value words: While QAT, QI, and ZA are well-known, fewer players know words like QUIXOTIC (26 pts), SQUEEZING (26 pts), or JACKPY (28 pts).
3. Use parallel plays to score twice: A parallel play is when you place a word that intersects perpendicularly with an existing word on the board, creating new words in the crossing tiles.
4. Don't underestimate 2-letter words: The WWF 2-letter word list is a game-changer. Words like XI, XU, JO, and ZA let you place a single tile on a premium square.
5. Track tile exchanges and play defensively: If your opponent exchanges several tiles, they likely had a difficult rack. If they play a short word near a Triple Word, they may be setting up a big play.

| Board Size | 15×15 | 15×15 |

Frequently Asked Questions
Is using a Words With Friends cheat actually cheating?
Not at all. A WWF cheat tool is really just a fast dictionary lookup — the same thing competitive players do with word lists and apps during practice. Think of it as a vocabulary tutor that shows you all the words hiding in your rack. Every time you see a new word like QI, XI, or ZA, you're learning something that makes you a better player. The more you use it, the less you need it.
How does Words With Friends scoring compare to Scrabble?
Words With Friends uses exactly the same tile values as Scrabble: A/E/I/O/U/L/N/S/T/R = 1pt, D/G = 2pts, B/C/M/P = 3pts, F/H/V/W/Y = 4pts, K = 5pts, J/X = 8pts, Q/Z = 10pts. The board layout, premium squares, and Bingo bonus (50 points for using all 7 tiles) are also identical to Scrabble. The only real difference is the dictionary.
What are the best Words With Friends starting words?
The best WWF opening words follow the same principles as Scrabble openings: use multiple vowels and high-frequency consonants. Words like ADIEU (5 vowels), AUDIO, RAISE, SRAIN, and ARIEL are strong openers.
What's the difference between Words With Friends and Scrabble dictionaries?
The WWF dictionary and Scrabble dictionaries overlap significantly but have some differences. Our word finder uses a comprehensive list that covers the most commonly used words in both games.
How do I find a Bingo in Words With Friends?
A Bingo is playing all 7 tiles in one turn for a 50-point bonus. To find Bingos, enter your full 7-tile rack and look at the results — any 7-letter word is a Bingo candidate. Common WWF Bingos include ATEARI, STERN variants, and words ending in -EST, -ING, and -ION.
Can the WWF cheat tool help me play defensively?
Yes. While our tool primarily shows you your own plays, you can also use it to think ahead: if your opponent's last move ended near a Triple Word square, what short word could you play to either block it or hit it yourself? Running hypothetical racks through the tool helps you anticipate board state changes.
