For more information see the rules given in the app and the How-to-Play album on the Wordiamo Facebook page.
- When you play words not connected to the "mainland" (i.e., the green group in contact with the center square), this creates islands.
- To score your island's points, be sure to "bridge" it to the mainland.
- Bridges to earn additional bonuses.
- Islands expire (return to the letter pool) if you do not play new words on them for two consecutive turns.
- Your islands are initially protected, meaning only you can play off of them. This gives you an advantage in connecting them to the mainland and collecting a bridge bonus.
- Protection stops if you do not play on your island on consecutive turns.
Go for long words.
- The more letters you play, the greater the point multiplier for the word.
- The multiplier is equal to the number of letters played. So if you play 5 letters, you get a 5x multiplier.
- You draw an extra letter for playing 6 letters. You get an extra star (any letter piece) for playing 7 letters. Bonus letters are only awarded when there are 7 letters left in the pool.
- Play 8 letters for a 100-point bonus. Play 8 letters directly on the mainland to win immediately by knockout, no matter how far behind you are on points.
Lots of ways to play
