Keyword VS – Tips and Cheats: The Strategy Guide

Keyword VS is a new word competition game for iPhone and iPad, and we can be sure that an Android and a Facebook version will pop up soon enough, as well. The goal is to find the three highest-scoring words on a word board per round. You and your competitor will go three rounds and whoever has the most points at the end is the winner. Read on for some tips and tricks for Keyword VS!

-You can pick words out of letters that touch each other in any direction. You can go up, down, left, right, and diagonally, as long as you don’t use a letter tile twice.
-Make the longest words you can, because the more letters that you use in a word, the higher the overall score will be.

-Use the double and triple letter and (especially) the double and triple word tiles to your advantage. Making a long word on a word multiplier tile (or on more than one of them) will give you a ridiculously high word score.
-Pay attention to how much every letter is worth, too. Just one rare letter or “QU” tile mixed with a long word or a word multiplier can mean a really high score.

-Every time that you finish a round with someone, you earn coins. Play against as many randoms as possible in order to load up on coins, so that you can use them for power ups later on.
-Your three power ups are the wild card, the 3X word bonus, and the double vowel score. With enough coins you can use these as often as you’d like. This is why it’s so important to play many randoms.

-Other power ups can be used for coins inside of the stages, too. For example, you can shuffle the board around. Using this will shuffle any unused letters, so use it after you make your good words, if you have any.
-After you shuffle, you can still undo your word combos or add to them, so this is also good to use if you want to add an “s” or an “ing” or whatever to the end of the word later on.

-If you know more than one language, you can mess with your Facebook friends by changing the dictionary and sending them words in other languages. If you begin a random game in another language, though, you will be matched up against someone who’s either a native speaker of that language or who speaks that as their first language.
