Same here :-( … After getting my butt kicked for MONTHS by folks who scored 400+ points, I have been memorizing the words that they used on me. One sore loser called me a cheater and said they wouldn't play me anymore.

I reminded them that half of the game is placing the words, not just making a word out of the tiles. No "cheat sheet" can put that word on a board that is half filled.

WWF is similar to a "poker machine" or an electronic "slot machine" in the way that the "luck o' the draw" often dictates a game. If you have all vowels or all consonants, you won't have long words to play.

Haha I hear you! My boyfriend says if I don't know the definition, I can't use it. So I started memorizing the definitions too. :)

ps.
All prefixes and suffixes are also your friend.
Think: -er, -ed, -ly, un-, re-
You get the idea…
