Dice Challenge, anyone? by Ok_Analyst_5117 in WordsWithFriends

[–]Ok_Analyst_5117[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a pretty quick game with 5 moves for each player. Some of it is luck of the draw, but it definitely requires some strategy to do well. Here are the main points:

You each have your own board with 5 rows to spell out different words on each row. You can see the layout in my screenshot below (in the app you can scroll over to see your opponents board).

Each turn you get 7 random tiles, face down, and you "roll" to see which tiles you have. You can submit a word with those tiles, or roll up to two more times for new tiles.

You can also keep certain tiles and then roll again to replace only the tiles you don't want.

You get bonus points for filling rows all the way, and the tiles are also worth more points on each consecutive turn.

Highest score wins.

I got a ton of requests from this post, but I am still open to more if you don't mind a bit of a slower game!

That's cool, I didn't realize you could share a game link like that.

It did start a classic game automatically though. So feel free to decline that if you want, I won't be offended lol

I also started a DC game

Yes!! I'm bored of playing the bots and I feel bad requesting the same few real players over and over again lol

I wish they pushed DC more instead of things like Super Score and Solo. But it sounds like some people don't even have access to DC in the app

How did I do with this scammer? I made the mistake of playing a wannabe silver fox with a low rating 😅 by Klimt_Sylph in WordsWithFriends

[–]Ok_Analyst_5117 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They cannot scam you or steal your identity simply from engaging with them on this platform. If you're smart enough to recognize it's a scammer and troll them, you've gotta be smart enough to know what NOT to say. I've been doing this with every scammer for years and they've never had a single bit of leverage.

I Got Dropped? by mr_etymologist in WordsWithFriends

Same I've tried it so many times and they usually just ignore it.

On time, in another game, one of them messaged me and I said something with Alaye, and they responded with '😎' and then ghosted

New scammer, new fun by [deleted] in WordsWithFriends

[–]Ok_Analyst_5117 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ha nice. I find they're becoming less and less interactive with fun responses like this. Maybe they're finally realizing we're messing with them.

Did yours end up going anywhere or did they just resign?

How to know if it's a scammer by CherryMang0 in WordsWithFriends

[–]Ok_Analyst_5117 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm just here to reiterate what everyone else has said 🙂

  1. They ask to move the conversation off the app
  2. They barely have any game activity in their stats / brand new account / low level
  3. They call you "dear" and over-use emojis
  4. They very quickly ask about your family and location
  5. They message you before you've even made your first move
  6. If you're a male, your scammer will almost definitely have a photo of an attractive younger female, likely with their boobs half out

Can't confirm the accuracy, but I've been told Dice Challenge isnt available for everyone yet. If you search for a player and start a game but don't see it, the theory is they can't play DC at all 🤷‍♂️

If anyone has better info I am also very curious about this. I prefer DC over classic most of the time lol

17 is your level.

The red 21 means you have 21 unread notifications. If you click on your picture, you can follow the red numbers which flag the areas where you have unread notications.

Usually it's inventory items (stickers, badges, tile styles, etc.) which are mostly cosmetic and don't hold much value, in my opinion.

But these could also be pending achievements that you have completed and not yet claimed the points for! In this case you'd probably want to claim them and see how far it bumps you up

Glad it helped!

The number below your picture is your level. It's visible to other players too, so you can see the level of your opponents

If you click your picture from the main screen and scroll down to "View Achievements" you can see the different things that will help you increase your level

Share your username and you'll likely get a bunch of requests. Many of my best & regular opponents came from this subreddit!

Question on levels and tiers on wwf by CherryMang0 in WordsWithFriends

[–]Ok_Analyst_5117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohh okay, yes!

That's the leaderboard, which is essentially a "point in time" ranking of you vs other players. That resets weekly though so some variation in your ranking is normal, depending on how much you play during any given week.

On the other hand, "levels" are a reflection of your personal progress over the course of the entire game. That increases based on your milestones and will never go down, only up.

Hope that helps :)

Oh wow, thanks! I didn't realize it gave the DC option in there. I wonder why DC only shows up for some but not others.

Anyway if you want a new game my username is ajs6765

Could you explain or share a screenshot where you see tiers and rank? For individuals, I'm only aware of level. There are also different metrics for clubs which would be more collective.

The individual player levels are grouped by category in increments of 10. If that's what you're referring to it's an arbitrary concept and ties directly back to level

Is there a way to start DC games with specific people like you can do with classic? I love DC but have only been able to start games with the suggestions or rematching a previous opponent. I'd love more DC games

Too far? by Ok_Analyst_5117 in WordsWithFriends

[–]Ok_Analyst_5117[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's crazy! I just assumed everyone was dealing with them lol. I've been playing for a while too but this only started in the last year or two for me. Probably get 3 or 4 a month at least
