## What is Cheats & Words?

Automatically find every possible Words With Friends™ play in 3 easy steps, destroy your opponents. No manual entry required.

It couldn't be simpler:

1) Take a screenshot of your zoomed-out Words With Friends™ board
2) Open Cheats and Words
3) Tap "Use Latest Screenshot"

Shazam. Cheats & Words gives you every possible play and its score. Browse the list of plays, or swipe between renderings of each play in context.

How is this any different from all the other cheat apps? Cheats & Words doesn't just tell you the words you can spell with the tiles on your rack. Using our proprietary AlphaTile™ detection engine, Cheats and Words automatically reads your board, evaluates the available spaces and tiles, then intelligently suggests the words to play, the position in which to play them, and the resulting score. You see every possible play and get to decide which to play.

Cheats and Words is ad-supported allowing you to find stellar words for free. To reveal high scoring words you can use SuperCheats. You are given a complimentary balance of SuperCheats to begin with, but must purchase them after your initial balance runs out. You can also pay to unlock the app which removes ads forever and gives you unlimited SuperCheats.

Cheats and Words also serves as an amazing educational tool to help improve your game and your vocabulary -- no cheating required. Simply take screenshots at any point in your game, then when the game is done, go back and review the plays you might have missed.

You can also purchase additional features including Tile Stats which allow you to know which tiles remain in the game and your chances to draw them and Definitions so you can learn the meaning of words you play.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2026-03-31, version 5.6*

Hasn’t worked correctly one time.

### 2/5 — Does not right

*2024-11-17, version 5.6*

Bad when checking for words to be used the words cross over other letters already used.  So annoying

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-06-02, version 5.6*

Works about 10% of the time so don’t bother with this app

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-05-08, version 5.6*

I like using this to find better words to play for a higher score value. I only play words that have a definition.

### 1/5 — The same app???

*2024-04-16, version 5.6*

Wow, the app reviews that laud the app must be using a different app than I am using. That is especially true if it’s this app! How does a great app use the letter “j” to make words when it’s not a letter in one’s letters to play? Not just on word or one time, but repeatedly! This is after making sure the app is up to date! What a real disappointment. I had hoped for something better.

### 4/5 — Fault

*2024-03-11, version 5.6*

Doesn’t connect with words with friends,it did until the update

### 1/5 — Trash

*2024-02-10, version 5.6*

Paid my money and it won’t read the boards I want my money back

### 3/5 — Annoying!

*2023-12-29*

The “To Game” words in the upper right hand corner of this app no longer work to bring me back to the WWF2 game I am currently playing! 
Now, I must close the app to reopen that WWF2 game! It’s most annoying to have to do the xtra step when the old way of hitting the words “To Game” was much easier to do! The words are still there. They just are highlighted and can not be used! Thx.

### 1/5 — Help

*2023-11-07, version 5.6*

My return to game button does not light up. How can I rectify this?

### 5/5 — One of the best app for WWF!

*2022-12-18, version 5.6*

I believe this is one of the best app so far. It does pick up on some of the WWF board variations but for regular play it is great.
