Long-word bonus mode
This mode rewards ambitious high-value plays. In every move, you can earn extra points based on how many letters you place and whether you extend an existing word by two letters or more.
Bonus for placed letters
You earn bonus points when placing 2 to 7 letters in one move:
| Letters placed | Bonus points |
|---|---|
| 2 | 3 |
| 3 | 6 |
| 4 | 12 |
| 5 | 25 |
| 6 | 50 |
| 7 | 100 |
Extension bonus
You can also earn extension bonus points when extending an existing 2-13 letter word by at least two letters.
| Existing word length | Extension bonus |
|---|---|
| 2 | 10 |
| 3 | 12 |
| 4 | 15 |
| 5 | 19 |
| 6 | 23 |
| 7 | 28 |
| 8 | 35 |
| 9 | 43 |
| 10 | 53 |
| 11 | 66 |
| 12 | 81 |
| 13 | 100 |
Examples
Example 1: If BIKE is on the board and you turn it into BIKERACK, you receive a letter bonus plus an extension bonus.
Example 2: If you only add one letter to an existing word, the extension bonus does not apply.
