If you’re even remotely partial to word games, Word With Friends 2 is already on your radar and possibly on your phone. Millions spend their free moments vanquishing their nearest and dearest with a Triple Letter (TL) bonus or climbing leaderboards and collecting Trophies.
But did you know playing your favorite word game could help you earn rewards and collect free gift cards?
It’s really simple! All you need to do is access your mobile gaming through Fetch Play to rack up those rewards while playing as normal.
What is Words With Friends 2?
Launched in 2017 as a successor to the original Words With Friends, Words With Friends 2 is a crossword-style puzzle game in which players take turns building words with friends or through online match-ups.
It’s one of those titles that makes hours feel like minutes. With single-player, two-player, and multiplayer modes – plus Daily Puzzles, challenges, and timed events – there’s a whole lot to explore as you bulk up your vocabulary and stimulate your mind.
How to play Words With Friends 2
Easy to learn but with scope for a true word-building whiz to rise above the rest, Words With Friends 2 gameplay is a walk in the park even for newer players.
Here’s how to get started in a standard game:
- Click on Pick My Match to get paired with a random player – you can also play with Facebook friends or in solo mode.
- Play your first word by dragging the 7 available letter tiles at the bottom of your screen onto the board – the first word must have one letter at the board’s center.
- Receive a score based on letter value, word complexity, and where you place your tiles – Double Word (DW), Triple Word (TW), Double Letter (DL), and Triple Letter (TL) bonus spaces all give a little extra.
- Take turns placing words – every word but the first must be placed so that at least one tile is shared with an existing word. You’ll get new tiles each turn to bring your total back to 7.
- Win by having the highest score once one player has played all their tiles and there are no new letter tiles available.
Is Words With Friends 2 free to play?
Sure is! Free to download and free to play. Just between the two of us, every game in the Fetch Play library is also free to download and play to ensure you really are getting reward points without having to part with a single cent.
Can you make money playing Words With Friends 2?
No. I guess you could place bets with a friend, but maybe Fetch shouldn’t implicitly encourage such behaviour. Is it illegal? Who knows?
But you know what’s so darn rewarding it feels illegal?
Yuh huh, gaming through Fetch Play to earn free gift cards.
How to earn free gift cards playing Words With Friends 2 with Fetch Play
To start earning free gift cards simply for playing games like Words With Friends 2 on your phone:
- Download Fetch, and open the app.
- From the Social tab (which looks like a silhouette of a trophy), navigate to the “Play” tab.
- Browse your available game library, and start downloading games; all Fetch Play games are free to download!
- Play games on your phone whenever you have a few spare minutes, and earn points for completing in-game tasks.
- Once you have enough points (you can view your points balance in the top-right corner of the screen), redeem your points for the gift card of your choice. It’s that easy!
Words With Friends 2 cheats: are they worth it?
Anyone animated by the merest shred of decency steers clear of online word solvers that find words for you. They take away the challenge, reduce your own enjoyment, and pull the wool over the eyes of your fellow human beans.
We’re ashamed to mention such things, but the world is a dark place and we can’t shield our Fetch fam forever. Rather than succumb to temptation, boost your win/loss ratio with the following strategies:
- Build words in parallel lines with at least one space between them so you can easily create new words with intersecting rows.
- J, Q, and Z are the most valuable tiles, so use them sparingly and memorize short words that use two or more of each (such as JINX, JAZZ, and OXIDIZE).
- Build on other words using prefixes (such as AN, DIS, NON, PRE, and EX) and suffixes (such as ISM, IST, SHIP, AL, or TION).
- S tiles are super versatile since you can tack them onto existing words to get its entire point value, plus the value of the S itself, so use them wisely.
- Pay attention to DW, TW, DL, and TL bonuses rather than focusing solely on the tiles in your hand.
