Scrabbly
Going from casual to competitive is about habits. These are seven Scrabble strategies with the biggest impact on your score.
1. Keep your rack balanced
Aim for a mix of vowels and consonants so you don't get stuck. Holding an S or a blank is often worth more than spending it on a small play.
2. Hunt for bingos
Using all 7 tiles scores 50 extra points. Learn common prefixes and suffixes to spot them more often.
3. Exploit premium squares
A short word on a triple-word square can beat a long one with no multipliers. Always think about where your high-value letters land.
4. Play in parallel
Parallel plays that form several words at once are a goldmine many beginners miss.
5. Block your opponent
If a triple-word square is open and you can't use it, sometimes it pays to close it before your rival does.
6. Learn the two-letter words
They're the key tool for hooks and for squeezing plays into tight spaces.
7. Review your games
