Word Wipe

@hummer08, the longer the word and the more the word twists, the higher the score. It takes practice.

I play this game almost every day, and it will usually take me several levels (10 or more) to get to 25,000.

Priorities are:
1 – get to the next level. Do this by meeting the Goal by removing rows or columns of letters. If you don’t get to the next level, the game ends, so if you don’t have 25000 yet, oh well. Bombs can clear up to a 3×3 square of letters, so use them if you’re stuck or running out of time.

2 – once you met the Goal for the level, try to clear the entire board. If you clear the board, your score for the level is doubled! The best way is to do it all by making words. If you get stuck, you can use a bomb. But use the bombs wisely. I won’t bother clearing the board if I need to use more than 2 bombs, because I’ll need the bombs for later levels. It’s more important to get to the next level, (see priority 1).

I don’t think the levels get more difficult as you go letter-wise, but you have to clear more rows or columns to meet the Goal, and at some point you get start getting less time per level. So it’s good to keep some bombs, because you might need them to clear some rows or columns to meet the Goal.

Some other tips:
– if you have 3 or more identical letters together, you can clear them as if they were a word.
– the game has a large lexicon, so if you’re desperate try some “words” you’ve never heard of.
– when the level starts, I’ll look for Q, X, Z, K, J, and other letters that may have limited options, and strategize to get letters near them that will make a word

Hope this helps. Now everyone should understand why Word-Wipe players have been asking for more tickets for this game!
