If you’ve gotten this far you already know what Words With Friends is. In fact, you’re probably in the middle of a game right now.
But the most important question is: what is the Words With Friends Helper?
What is the Words With Friends Helper?
The Words with Friends Helper is a tool. You enter the game state of your current game of Words with Friends and the tool will return all possible words that you can play. The results also include the number of points the word will score (excluding any double/ triple letter/ word scores).
How to use the Words With Friends Helper?
Start by placing the letters you have on your rack into the starting form. For me, these are: K, E, R, E, O, D, A.
This will take you to the results page and show you all the words you can make with just these letters. But it also gives you more options to customize the results further using the filters.
As you can see, there are words like DRAKE, ERODE, RAKED.
However, you’ll want to connect the word to the letters already on the board. This is where the filters really come into their own.
The game I’m playing at the moment has a loose “C” that can be used. So I’ll add the letter “C” to the Contains filter.
This is where the true power of the Words With Friends helper comes in. You can see the words, sorted by length, and the number of points it will score.
More importantly, the “C” is there and highlighted in red to make it easier to judge where the place the word on the board.
The Starts and Ends filters both work in the same way.
It really is a help when you’re playing Words With Friends. It allows you to score the most points possible when the game is possibly going pear-shaped.
