"Shhh, don't tell anyone but I've learned a few tricks about winning from this book."

Elliot Rudell, Inventor of UPWORDS®

"How to Win at UPWORDS®: the Unofficial Book of Strategies for Playing Your Best Game" by Charlotte Whitney offers many approaches, tips, and suggestions for playing the game of UPWORDS®. It is based on the premise that a player can play a competitive game even when the player holds letters that are difficult to play. While luck is definitely inherent in the game, a player can employ particular strategies to maximize the point count. This book contains advice for both the board game and electronic apps, as well as tips for the beginning, mid, and endgame. In addition, there is a section on the creation and evolution of UPWORDS® and the idiosyncrasies that surround this creative and challenging game.
