Words With Friends helper

How the Words With Friends helper works

Type your seven letters and Wortfinder shows every English word you can play, scored with the letter values of Words With Friends. They are not the same as in Scrabble: a J is worth 10 here, a K or a V 5, and playing all seven tiles earns a 35-point bonus instead of 50.

To play off a word on the board, type its open letters under "Open letters on the board": the helper combines each one with your tiles. The scores in the list are the tiles' base values, with the 35-point bonus for all seven tiles included. For premium squares, turn on the board: it has the Words With Friends layout and shows the best move.

Tips for higher scores

Frequently asked questions

What is different in Words With Friends?

Many letters score differently (J 10, K and V 5, B, C, M and P 4), the bag holds 104 tiles, and playing all seven tiles is worth 35 points. The premium squares sit in other places, and the centre square has no bonus. Otherwise the rules are much the same as in Scrabble.

Does the helper count premium squares?

Yes, on the board. Turn it on, and every move counts the squares it covers; playing all seven tiles adds 35 points. The word list without the board shows the tiles' base values.

How do I enter a blank?

Type a question mark or a space, or tap "+ Blank". A blank scores 0, in Words With Friends too.

Does Wortfinder know every word Words With Friends accepts?

Nearly. Words With Friends has its own word list; Wortfinder searches ENABLE, a free public-domain list close to the North American one, plus the two-letter words added since (such as QI, ZA and OK). Most words agree, but now and then one is missing or extra. If in doubt, try it in the game: it rejects an invalid word without costing you your turn. To check a single word quickly, use the word checker.
