How to Play Wordfeud – Everything You Need To Know

If you are about to or just have started playing Wordfeud and looking to step up your game, you’re in the right place. This guide contains all the essential Wordfeud rules and techniques to learn how to play Wordfeud. This would improve your game quickly, and if followed correctly, you’ll be walking all over your competitors in no time.

The key to mastering Wordfeud lies in understanding its 15×15 grid game board. Each square on the board can either be a normal tile or one of several bonus tiles designed to multiply your score. Here’s a breakdown of what these special tiles mean:

• Double Letter (DL): Doubles the value of the letter placed on it.
• Triple Letter (TL): Triples the value of the letter placed on it.
• Double Word (DW): Doubles the total value of the word placed over it.
• Triple Word (TW): Triples the total value of the word placed over it.

These bonus tiles are strategically scattered across the board, and landing on them is critical for maximizing your score.

Note: Always aim to place high-scoring letters (like Z, Q, X) on these tiles to rack up major points.

The Wordfeud rules are straightforward:

Each player starts with seven random letter tiles. The game begins by placing a word on the board, and the first word must cover the star in the middle of the board.

You have to place your letters to form words, similar to Scrabble or a crossword, but there are two key rules for word placement you must follow:

1. Words can be placed either horizontally or vertically, but not diagonally. 
2. Each new word you place must connect with at least one tile already on the board.

Each letter tile has a point value based on its frequency in the language. For example, vowels like A, E, and I are worth 1 point, while rare letters like Q, X, and Z are worth 10 points. 

To win, you need to rack up more points than your opponent by the time all the tiles are used up or when neither player can make a move.

If you’re stuck with a bad set of letters, you can choose to swap tiles instead of placing a word. However, doing this means you’ll have to skip your turn.

The remaining tiles on the rack play an important role in score calculation when the game ends. 

1. Once both players can’t make a move, the game ends. Any unused tiles still in your rack will count against your final score.
2. If you use all your tiles before your opponent, you receive the value of their remaining tiles added to your score.

Each player is given a rack of 7 tiles at a time, drawn from a total pool of 104 tiles. Of these, 102 are alphabet letter tiles, each with a specific point value, and 2 are blank wildcards, which carry 0 points but can be used as any alphabet letter.

Below is a table showing how many of each letter in Wordfeud and their corresponding points;

Letter	Occurrence	Points	Letter	Occurrence	Points
A	10	1	N	6	1
B	2	4	O	7	1
C	2	4	P	2	4
D	5	2	Q	1	10
E	12	1	R	6	1
F	2	4	S	5	1
G	3	3	T	7	1
H	3	4	U	4	2
I	9	1	V	2	4
J	1	10	W	2	4
K	1	5	X	1	8
L	4	1	Y	2	4
M	2	3	Z	1	10

Pro Tip: By tracking your opponent’s moves throughout the game, you can calculate which tiles they have left in their rack toward the end – allowing you to outmaneuver them in the final rounds. For more on this, check out the advanced Wordfeud strategies section.

Just throwing random words on the board isn’t enough. Winning in Wordfeud requires strategy, and practicing those decisive Wordfeud tips and tricks. Here are a few of them:

1. Maximize Multipliers
   The score multiplier tiles (DL, TL, DW, TW) are the fastest way to stack up higher scores. However, 60-70% of these special tiles remain unused at the beginner’s level. So if you prioritize these special tiles, there is a lot of potential to score higher even if you form smaller words.
2. Extend Existing Words
   One of the best strategies in Wordfeud is to extend words that are already on the board. For example, adding an S or ES to the end of a word can turn a low-scoring word into a high-value move. 
3. Play High-Value Letters Wisely
   Letters like Q, Z, and X are the game-changers. Be patient, and always save these high-value letters for moves where you can land them on score multiplier likes. Never rush to place them unless you’re getting a substantial score.
4. Short Words for Big Wins
   You’ll realize the importance of small words towards the end of the game when the board is tight and you’re left with fewer letters. So, don’t underestimate the power of small words that squeeze into tight spaces. Also, words like QI, ZA, and XI may only be two letters, but they can land on high-scoring tiles and score big. 

Now that you’ve grasped the basics of how to play Wordfeud, these advanced tactics will help you become the apex player.

Not all strategies are about racking up points. In Wordfeud, defensive play is crucial. Try to block premium tiles by placing words that prevent your opponent from landing on DL, TL, DW, or TW tiles.

Sometimes, a lower-scoring word can be more beneficial if it stops your opponent from reaching those special tiles.

This strategy involves balancing your tiles between vowels and consonants (non-vowels) to ensure a versatile set of letters and avoid being stuck with unplayable combinations.

For instance, if you notice too many vowels, try to use one in every word to create a better letter mix for future moves.

The endgame strategy in Wordfeud is just as important as the opening. Avoid being left with high-value letters, which will count against your score when the game ends.

Sometimes it’s smarter to skip a turn and exchange tiles rather than force a weak word onto the board if you are stuck with unplayable letters. Be strategic about when you exchange, as it can make all the difference.

 If you’ve kept track of your opponent’s remaining tiles, towards the end, you will exactly know what letters your opponent is left with. Anticipate your opponent’s potential plays and try to block potential high-scoring moves.

Mastering Wordfeud involves utilizing those uncommon but valid words. Words like QI, ZA, XI, and JO. This can dramatically boost your score, especially when played on premium tiles or stuck with fewer letters.
