Is a good defense! Playing a small word over a TW tile is better than ceding it to your opponent.

PFFT, BRRR and PSST are all valid four letter words with no vowels.

 

Tiles left on your rack at the end of the game count against you - make sure you get rid of them before you finish.

Try keeping your rack balanced with 3 vowels and 4 consonants to keep your options open on the gameboard.

 

Feeling stumped? Sometimes passing or swapping your tiles is better than playing a poor word.

 

Lucky enough to have some S and blank tiles? Use them strategically for a big move later!

 

Lost on a tile rack? The pros like to shuffle their tile regularly to find hidden gems.

C and H, C and K  - some consonants just go well together. Keep them together in your rack and watch your options grow.
