Scramble with Friends (SWF) - Containment /Strat Thread

[Noah.]

I find it hard to be cutthroat in this game and play way too casually. When it's my turn I'll think "I could get a safe 15 here or get 20 here and open up the TW. Ah well, if he has it, he has it." which is obviously not optimal win strategy.

Haha exactly. Then I picture the other person being all smug after a win and me wanting to challenge them to a battleship style hu game for $$$

not sure if level...

that's standard... as far as Word Feud and Scrabble values go. The "V" is worth 5 points which is also odd. The J is worth 10 points but its worth that much on Word Feud too and I kind of agree with it being worth 10

wtf <-> wth

haha I just caught the equivalent of perfect-perfect to close out a game in which I was getting trounced the whole time. BLTG

If you pay attention to the 'x number of tiles left' it's very simple.

When it hits zero after one of your turns you know your opponent has 7 tiles left, so keep track of how many tiles he/she plays afterwards to know. If it hits zero during their turn you need to be paying more attention since you need to notice the 'x number of tiles left' before they actually make their move.

How to? I just started playing a couple of days ago.

I was able to drop JET/JIVY for 55 on the penultimate turn, and then closed out with BUILDER for 69.
