I hit 275 with UNIQUELY, Q on triple letter, U on triple word, Y on double word. Never had anything near it in two years.

Interesting. And yet VU is playable all the same. Whether it *should* be playable is a different matter, I guess.

I was unable to find VU in the UK (and International) English Scrabble word list or any of the word lists adopted by Words With Friends. VU may be valid in French as a verb in that language it means “seen”, and as an adverb “given”. And though there has been a change to include some phrasal words that have been adopted from foreign languages and “déjà vu” is one of the more commonly recognized ones, I do not believe either “deja” or “vu” have been adopted into the English word lists.

VU is playable if you’re playing a game in UK English (which also has no Dictionary feature, unlike games in US English). You weren’t playing a cheater–you just didn’t know what language you were playing in. Maybe don’t be so eager to jump to judgements, eh?

I played a person who used the word VU

When I wanted to check this word the Dictionary had mysteriously disappeared from the menu of options!

So absolutely – the ARE lots of cheaters out there and all we can do is block them.

Personally I would like to see a ’3 strikes’ rule implemented so that if 3 or more people are convinced that someone is cheating they can set off a total block of that player and make it their problem to get the WWF admin to unblock them.

I know this could be abused but I am convinced that somewhere out there is a programmer who could bullet-proof such a feature.

There are “churners” and “players”. The former play 10-20 games a time, and play rapidly w/o much concern over individual word score, just getting on to next game. Little concern over defense. In contrast, PLAYERS work harder for each word score by trying for best placement. Realistically, game scores over 300 are common, over 400 regularly, and 500 on occasion. Great average score of 400 is very, very hard to achieve unless a computer is doing the playing. Not difficult to tell, but there are some very bright people that play too.

I just played BLIZZARD for 269 points, but it was just luck. Two blanks, an open I, a Z on triple letter, B on double word and D on triple word.

Hi
I am just back playing WWF after a big break and noticed that the game is upgraded to include leaderboards – so I thought I would try to get to the top – only on the average word score tho. Incredibly after a while was was up at the top and briefly at #1 slot. Quite a thrill – I am an a,seasoned player at this stage but it is possible. BTW the average word score is now a reasonable figure under 40 or thereabouts – the players at the top use the WWF app obviously- so if you play these days expect precision !! If you want to play the old fashioned way find friends or others who like to go it alone without help- I play both ways and enjoy both-
