WWF Word Maker
Create winning Words With Friends plays every turn
About WWF Word Maker
Words With Friends has its own tile values, board layout, and dictionary that differ from Scrabble. Our WWF Word Maker knows these differences and calculates accurate WWF point values for every word it finds. Enter your rack, optionally add board letters, and the maker builds a ranked list of plays that will keep you ahead of the competition whether you are in classic mode or solo challenges.
How It Works
Load Your Tiles
Type up to 15 rack letters. Use # for blank tiles (can be any letter, worth 0).
Add Board Letters
Include tiles already on the board. Use ? for empty squares.
Pick Your Power Move
Browse results ranked by WWF points and choose the strongest play available.
WWF Tile Values
WWF Word Building Strategies
- Swap tiles freely: WWF allows unlimited tile swaps — dump a weak rack early to draw better letters
- Know the premium layout: Triple Word squares in WWF sit in different positions than Scrabble — learn where they fall on the WWF board
- Build on existing words: Adding a prefix or suffix to an opponent's word scores for the entire extended word
- Use short parallel words: Playing a word parallel to another creates multiple scoring opportunities in a single turn
- No bingo bonus in WWF: Unlike Scrabble, WWF does not award extra points for using all tiles — focus on high-value placement instead
Frequently Asked Questions
How is WWF scoring different from Scrabble?
Words With Friends uses unique tile point values. For example, J and X are 10 points each (vs 8 in Scrabble), H is 3 (vs 4), and there is no 50-point bonus for using all your tiles. The board layout and premium square positions are also different.
Which dictionary does WWF use?
Words With Friends uses a proprietary word list maintained by Zynga. Our WWF dictionary closely mirrors this list. Select "Words w/Friends" in the dictionary dropdown for the most accurate results.
Can I use blank tiles in the WWF maker?
Yes. Type # to represent a blank tile that can stand in for any letter. Blanks are worth 0 points in WWF, just like in Scrabble. The maker tests all possible substitutions.
What does the board pattern field do?
Enter letters already on the board where you want to play. Use ? for open spaces. This helps the maker find words that connect with existing tiles, maximizing your scoring opportunities.
