Scrabble strategies:

Scrabble isn’t only about testing your vocabulary. Forming words is one thing but strategically choosing the best placement of the word is what’s going to boost your score. There are a number of Scrabble strategies that’ll help in improving your game.

Be patient and carefully decide the word: 

Don’t go with the first word you can think of using the letters in hand. Don’t just play to score more in that particular round. Think of ways of how you can bag a great score in the upcoming rounds before placing a word.

• While placing a word, see it the opponent cannot include a suffix/ prefix to it
• Make sure there are no hot-spots (colored) two spaces after your word. Your opponent would use it to his/her advantage and score triple the word value.

Save essential tiles for future use:

Save vowels. Avoid overusing them and see that you have at least one left after forming a word so that you aren’t left with only consonants. They aren’t too many words you can make without vowels. Learn that words that don’t have vowels in them too. Save N and R as they form a part of many big words.

Strive to score more:

Scrabble is about earning the highest points among your opponents. Keep looking for possibilities to make use of hot-spots. 

After every game, think of how you could have played the game better and learn from your mistakes. Apply these strategies in your next game and see your score increasing. Keep practicing more with online tools.
