WWF generally makes rare letters slightly cheaper than classic Scrabble. Q is often 8 points in WWF versus 10 in Scrabble. Check both scores on any word page—we display Scrabble and WWF values.

Board layout

Words With Friends spreads premium squares differently; triple-word corners are easier to reach in some app versions. Scrabble’s centre star and DL/TL symmetry reward different opening lines.

Strategy takeaway

  • Scrabble: prioritise bingos and precise two-letter hooks
  • WWF: longer words across multiple premiums often outscore short bursts
