Targetting the High Points

When I look at the Wordscraper board I always look for where the 4Ws and 3Ws are and whether I could possibly put down a word that would land on them. On the board below I have circled the places:



My first choice would be to the upper right of CRIMINATE, covering both the 2W and the 4W with one word, by adding a word vertically with either an S or a D, making CRIMINATED or CRIMINATES. In my actual play I had no S or D, so I put BOHEA horizontally with the B landing on the 2W and the word extending to the 4W, so I made 106 points.


It is best to target putting a high-scoring letter on the 2W so you can max out the points since you double both the word BE and the BOHEA.
