Advanced Tips To Score Well In Scrabble

Like almost all other sports, Scrabble is about scoring more points than your opponent. The real essence of the game lies in maximum utilization of the opportunities that present themselves and ensuring your opponents doesn’t get more chances to score.

Two or Three Letter Hot Spots

If you have a lot of high scoring tiles on your rack, you should watch out for vowels next to any of the bonus squares. A lot of Double Letter Score (DLS) or Triple Letter Score (TLS) are available throughout the board for you to utilize using a single letter from your rack. An experienced player will keep on learning new two or three letter words using the Scrabble word finder and visiting the Scrabble help websites. Enhanced knowledge of these two or three letter words can help you score upwards of 20-30 points in a game.

Premium Squares

The premium squares on the board are placed in such a fashion that better scoring opportunities are found around the edges of the board. The four rows on the outer area of the board present the player with an opportunity to score using the groupings of the DLS and TLS with the Double Word Score (DWS) or the Triple Word Score (TWS). A professional player will make the most out of these areas and use his smaller words carefully to score more points around the edges. Inspiration does not always come from the rack but one must always be aware of all these premium combinations that present themselves on the board during the game.

Reaching TWS

One of the most sought after spots on the board are the TWS. Sometimes the development of the board may make it a little difficult to spot some of these opportunities. It differs from game to game and player to player but utilizing these TWS’s in your game play will ensure you win the game at hand with ease.
