Bonuses (all will appear when you choose your score EXCEPT for the 3 letter one): 3 letter: 10 points for 10 words, 30 points for 15 words, 60 points for 20+ words 4 letter: 50 points for 10+ words 5 letter: 100 points for 10+ words Full House: 50 points for 15 words (0 for less than 15, though sometimes I have gotten points when I shouldn't have), 150 for 25+ words Flush & Wild: None My strategy is to try and get all the bonuses if I can. The first board should be able to get Full House with practice. I will not go for the 50 point 4 letter one if my score for Flush is low (about 70 for me). The per word score for 5 letters is high (8/word), so I will skip an early 10-15 words if I'm trying hard for a good score. If you want to end a round early, you can by choosing the category you want the score for. If you are having a bad game, just start a round and pick a category until the game is over, and restart.

In this game there are 6 rounds and you are given a different set of 8 letters to form 4 - 8 letter words from. Each round you will have 60 seconds to find as many words as you can. There are 6 categories to submit a score in. The categories are: 3 letter words 4 letter words 5 letter words Full House-15 or more words formed Flush-number or words starting with the same letter Wild-Any words formed earn points. The longer the word, the more points awarded Bonus each round-any 7 or 8 letter words earns 50 points. Max np awarded-1000 each game. I don't use an angaram finder to help with this because some rounds you are trying for a specific type of word. A tip I found that helps a ton is that you don't have to pick the letters with your cursor!!! You can just type in the words & then hit enter or your space bar. This sure speeds up the game.
