Tips to get a high score
- If you're not morally opposed, use a computerized anagram solver.
- As you fill in the anagrams, words you submit later get automatic double and then triple word scores. Since the score for each word is based on its Scrabble score, save for last words which are longer or have rare letters (such as J, Q, X, and Z). If you're using a computerized anagram solver, you may wish to sort the words to show the low scoring words first. Point values are based on the English edition Scrabble tiles.
Potential for Badges
- ML10 is easy to acquire since the required score was lowered from 7,000 to 3,000. To get the originally required 7,000 points, it is necessary to get all the words, in at least a very good order (if not the optimal order), and fast enough to get a good time bonus. Additionally, some sets of letters have more point earning potential then others, and it requires some luck to get three letter sets in a row which, taken together, allow for a very good score. Earning more than 7,000 points without using a computer solver would be quite difficult.
- The LTP10/ML10 ratio is about 1333 games. Since the revised ML10 score is roughly half the maximum per-game score, LTP10 is likely to take about 667 games.
Good word list
To get 7,000 points in a single game, you would have to average 2,333 points a word. Here's a list of words that should get you above that score. (Assuming a high time bonus)
