Scramble with Friends Cheaters

I guess the new update also brought with it the new builder lifelines (Conjure and that other useless one) and the update Extinguish lifeline. Maybe I should get an android device to play with… nah–I’ll stick with my iPhone!

Enjoy!

Here are the words I determined to be the hardest to guess. I’m posting them in separate posts based on word size.

Zynga gives you the last vowel for free AND only 4 strikes to guess the remaining 7 letters. In hangman, 8 letter words are often easy to guess since there are so many letters you can sometimes just get lucky and guess a correct letter and get another clue. But Zynga’s strike rule is extremely punitive for 8 letter words. As a result, 8 letter words are extremely difficult to guess, IF you can pick a good word like the ones below.

You’ll note that we finally see an appearance of my top score I give to a word. There are three words tied for the honors of hardest to guess Hanging with Friends words

So here are my top 14 Eight Letter Hanging with Friends words.

** The Score column lists my own rating (out of 100) at how hard this word is to guess. I can’t tell you how I determined what that number is–it’s my own secret recipe but it involves some math! This isn’t the points you’d earn.You can’t cheat using my Hanging with Friends Word Solver to guess these words. You’ll have to be more clever.

So what’s new?

Zynga has updated the Extinguish lifeline, and I can only hope they have made it worth using. In Hanging with Friends, the Extinguish lifeline is available for use while trying to guess your opponent’s word. I don’t have much problem solving words very often thanks to my Hanging with Friends Word Solver. But every now and then someone picks a hard word, and I need help. The Extinguish lifeline is one I rarely use because it has historically been fairly useless. In the past it would remove 4 letters that are not in your word. In theory, this is supposed to help narrow down your word. In reality, it didn’t reliably extinguish letters that I would have considered picking anyway! It seemed that Extinguish would randomly pick 4 letters without really thinking about what would be helpful.

In the 4.12 update of Hanging with Friends, Zynga has changed the Extinguish lifeline to now remove 5 letters instead of 4. Now a 5th random letter would be just as likely to be as useless as 4 random letters. The exciting part is that Zynga now claims that the Extinguish lifeline is “smarter about what it takes out for you.” I haven’t even had a chance to try it out yet, but I have my fingers crossed that Extinguish becomes a useful tool in my Hanging with Friends aresenal. I’ll report back on how good I think it works later.

Zynga also claims to have improved the loading time and removed some bugs from Hanging with Friends. We will have to wait and see if they’ve added more bugs than they removed. Oh yeah, they also added some new features to the coin store to help you find ways to spend your coins on the balloons and characters. Even though I hover around 5k coins, I’ve yet to buy anything in the store. Maybe I should…

In hangman, 4 letter words are usually harder to guess than longer words. But since Zynga gives you the last vowel for free AND 8 strikes to guess the remaining 3 letters, they actually often become quite easy to guess. And of course you can always use 9 strikes with the Revive lifeline or narrow it more with the 4 Suspects lifeline.
