FUZEE leads both games but scores differently—18 points in Words With Friends versus 17 in Scrabble. The real strategic split shows with JEEPS, which jumps from 14 points in Scrabble to 17 in WWF thanks to the boosted J value. QUEEN and QUEER both benefit from WWF's higher Q scoring, making Q-plus-double-E combinations more valuable there than in standard Scrabble play.
