Words With Friends Solver
Enter your tiles to see the common English words you can make, scored with Words With Friends tile values (not Scrabble values). Blanks score 0, just as in the game.
How to Use the Words With Friends Solver
Type your WWF tiles
Enter the 7 tiles in your rack. Use ? for each blank — WWF gives you two per game.
Lock board constraints
Set the starts-with or ends-with letter to match a tile already on the board. Set a minimum length to hunt for the 7-tile +35 bonus.
Pick by WWF score
Results show WWF tile values (not Scrabble). Layer in your board’s triple-letter and triple-word squares to find the play with the biggest swing.
Tips for Better Results
- Memorize the WWF-specific tile values: B, C, F, M, P, W are all 4 points (higher than Scrabble), and V is 5. This rewards consonant-heavy plays more than Scrabble does.
- J is worth 10 points in WWF (vs. 8 in Scrabble), making JO, JA, JOY, and JAB significantly more valuable.
- Aim for the 7-tile +35 bonus. Even at a smaller bonus than Scrabble, a single bingo usually decides the game.
- Swap proactively. WWF lets you swap without penalty other than losing the turn. Swap whenever your best play scores under ~10 points.
- Use both blank tiles strategically. Save at least one for a triple-word bingo setup; the zero-point cost is repaid many times over.
- Play parallel words along existing rows. WWF’s premium squares are clustered near the center, so building short overlapping words can score better than long sprawls.
What is a Words With Friends Solver?
A Words With Friends solver takes the seven tiles in your rack and returns the words you can make, scored using the Words With Friends tile chart. Words With Friends is its own game: it looks like Scrabble, but the board layout, bonus for using all seven tiles and tile values are all different, so the same word can be worth noticeably more or less. Our results come from about 168,000 English words, so nearly every playable word is covered, but the game’s own checker always has the final say.
Use a solver to study tile-value patterns and to refill on legal hooks for the trickier WWF letters. The game rewards memorizing short J, X, and Z words because of how heavily WWF weights those tiles — pairing JO or ZA across a triple-letter square is a very fast way to bank 30+ points without burning a long word. Treat the solver as a coaching tool: enter your rack, pick the best play, and over time you will internalize the WWF-specific scoring intuition that wins close games.
Popular Examples
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Words With Friends scoring different from Scrabble?
WWF uses the Enhanced North American Benchmark Lexicon and its own tile values. Most letters match Scrabble, but several differ: in WWF, F=4 (Scrabble 4), H=3 (Scrabble 4), B=4 (Scrabble 3), C=4 (Scrabble 3), M=4 (Scrabble 3), P=4 (Scrabble 3), V=5 (Scrabble 4), W=4 (Scrabble 4), J=10 (Scrabble 8), X=8 (same), Q=10 (same), Z=10 (same). The board layout and premium-square placement are also different.
What is the 35-point WWF bonus?
Words With Friends rewards a 35-point bonus when you play all seven tiles in one turn — the WWF equivalent of a Scrabble bingo. The bonus is smaller than Scrabble’s +50, but it still flips most games.
When should I use the Swap option?
Swap your tiles when you cannot form a play scoring at least 10–12 points, or when you are stuck with too many vowels, consonants, or a duplicated letter. In WWF, swapping costs you the turn but no points — keeping a balanced rack matters more than squeezing out a tiny play.
How do blank tiles work in this solver?
Enter ? for each blank you hold (WWF starts you with two blanks per game). The solver returns every word the blank could complete, with the blank scoring zero points but still counting toward the 7-tile bonus.
Does this use the Words With Friends dictionary?
Not exactly. It searches about 168,000 English words from the ENABLE word list, which is widely reported to be the starting point for Words With Friends’ own dictionary, so most results will be accepted. The game has added and removed words over the years, so it will occasionally disagree. Scores use Words With Friends tile values, which differ from Scrabble.
Why are short two-letter words important in WWF?
WWF’s board has triple-word squares closer to the center than Scrabble, which makes parallel play extra rewarding. A two-letter scaffold like AA, OE, NA, or XI can let you stack a long word along an existing row and score four separate words in one turn.
