Avoid guessing - Guessing is penalized with a one second delay in accepting new words.If you see a word like EAT, remember to swipe in anagrams like ATE, TEA, ETA, and TAE (obscure but legal).

In Wordament, JUMP, JUMPS, JUMPING, and JUMPED are all legal plays. One common beginner’s mistake is forgetting to swipe in plural and tense variations of a word. Focus on high-scoring tiles such as Q, Qu, K, Z, V, which help you pile on the points even with short 3-letter words.

Wherever you find common prefixes (DE, DIS, RE, and UN) or common suffixes (AL, ED, ER, ES, ING, LY, S) juicy words usually aren’t far behind.

Pay attention to prefixes and suffixes.

A nugget like EAD, for example, can lead to BEAD, DEAD, HEAD, LEAD, MEAD, and READ. Practice looking for common letter combinations and roots, which can help you quickly rack up points. Here are some tips drawn from others & my own (limited) experience to score better.
