Tips to Choose the Best Scrabble Word to Play
The perfect Scrabble word for you to play depends on your goals for the game, but we’ve got some hints to help you choose:
- Think about your next move. If you can, pick a word that leaves you with a great vowel or high-scoring letter to use next turn (provided your opponent doesn’t play on it, of course).
- Use your high-scoring letters when you can. Choose a Scrabble word that makes use of those high points.
- Try to place high-scoring letters on squares that multiply their score when at all possible. Some of your Scrabble word options will be better for this than others.
- Don’t forget to have fun, no matter which word you choose to play!
