Facebook – Scramble – Scoring Credits | The Broad Brush

If you’ve been playing Scramble, the Facebook game by zynga, then you’ve probably noticed the credits you have. These credits can be used during your turn to get a word hint.

You’ve probably wondered where those credits come from. Well here you go, there are two ways to earn credits. One way is invites.

Earn credits by inviting friends to add Scramble to their FaceBook profile. You get two credits for inviting someone that you haven’t invited before. If they respond to your invite within a week, you get an additional ten credits! You can use these credits to get word hints when you’re playing a game of Scramble!

The second way is to log in. Each day you log in earns 2 credits.

Now those credits don’t accumulate too fast, but I don’t find I use them that often. They do really come in handy though on those days your just stuck.

Do you used your credits? Found a secret way to score more? Wouldn’t use the credits if they gave you 1000 of them?

Let me know.

I would like to find a simple way to get to the actual Scramble game, so I can play; also Wordscraper. I click on something, and it doesn't give me what it promises. That's frustrating!

To answer you kaabbott, I'm providing a quote from the game's help.

The Scramble Dictionary
Scramble uses the Tournament Word List (TWL) Scrabble dictionary. The
TWL Scrabble Dictionary is used in tournament Scrabble in the USA,
Canada, Thailand and Israel. It is based on the Official Scrabble
Players Dictionary with small modifications to make it more suitable
for tournament play.

What that means unfortunately is a goodly portion of the English
language, as used in the United States, is not available. It also
means that uncommon or European English words are included.

Good reading about the TWL can be found here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tournament_Word_List

I hope this eases the pain a bit. Believe me, it's frustrating for me
as well at times.

Thanks for stopping by. You are welcome any time.

I don't understand why it tells me certain REAL words are not in dictionary, yet other words it accepts are nonsense words. I am a school teacher, I teach reading and spelling, yet I can not score points! Please explain what I am doing wrong?

I use them on those days when I have crap letters and I'm just plain stuck.
