QUIZZICALLY tops both Scrabble (43 points) and WWF (46 points), but the real strategic differences emerge with words like JABBERWOCKY and HIGHJACKING. WWF's boosted values for J (10 vs 8) and H (4 vs 4) make HIGHJACKING particularly valuable there at 36 points. OBJECTIVIZE scores 39 in WWF versus 34 in Scrabble—a five-point swing worth noting. When holding high-value tiles, calculating which platform you're playing on matters considerably.
