The Best Way to play scrabble
Want to crush your competition at Scrabble? Here are some awesome tips that'll help you win:
- Learn the 2-letter words! These are game-changers. Memorize words like 'AA', 'ZA', and 'QI'. You can find a complete list on Merriam-Webster's Scrabble site.
- Save your S's and blanks! These are like gold in Scrabble. Use them for making plurals or when you can score big points.
- Look for 'bingos' - using all 7 letters gets you 50 bonus points! Common prefixes (RE-, UN-, PRE-) and suffixes (-ING, -ED, -ER) help a lot here.
- Block triple word scores if you can't use them. Don't let your opponent score big!
- Download a word study app like Word Master to practice common Scrabble words.
Pro Tip:
The highest scoring words usually aren't the longest - they're the ones that use high-point letters (J, Q, X, Z) on bonus squares!
