The scores in Word Derby mostly make scrabble-sense, but occasionally I score 20-30 points more than I expected and I haven't been able to figure out why.

Understanding this mechanic would obviously be very helpful.

The Modojo Review mentions "triple-word scores, double-letter scores and so on" but fails to explain how to get them.

There are three ways on how you can receive bonus points in Word Derby, through timer, multiplier and bonus tiles.

  • You start from the base letter score in the top right corner of each tile
  • You get up to 5 bonus points for speed
  • You get bonus points from double and triple word and letter spaces. If you can, make sure that the letter that falls on that area has a high point value to maximize your score.
