-Extra Equipment Needed: Windows Phone 7 only game. It is free.

 

Introduction

 

First things first, this is online only on Windows Phones. There are many leaderboard achievements which can be extremely difficult to get. Playing the English version, you have seasoned players would spend hours and hours staying at the top. This is basically a word game where you create words out of tiles of letters. Each letter has specific scores and the longer the word the more points (you get double and more for certain lengths).

 

To put it out there, this game can actually be really easy and just a grind. To do this you must pick a different language than English and probably Spanish by now. Swedish has less than 100 people playing. Play games with that language for the leaderboards because you have a better chance.

 

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

 

Wordament Solver

 

The developers seem to have nothing better to do than have all their time consumed with their precious game that they have created. They will haunt the leaderboards looking for anything "fishy". Having a high score but lower than average amount of words will red flag you. Having tons of high ranking scores, red flag. Having all uncommon words, red flag. They will ban you if they suspect you cheated and you will then no longer be able to get the achievements.

 

Dutch/Swedish Trick

 

I have been using Swedish. After being ranked 1 five different times and ranked in top 10 45 times, I can say this works like a charm. I do not know Swedish. I can average 200 to 300 points a game and have gotten up to almost 500 just by guessing. The trick is to go for 3 letter words. Once yo have gotten one, look for an A. Think of the A as maybe an S in English. At least that is what I assume. Almost always adding an A will give you another 4 letter word. Is there an R near the A? Perfect. Attach the R at the end now and you will have turned your word into 3 words and have gotten a good amount of points. I guess the R is a different form of S, I really don't know but it seems a 50% chance or higher. After getting the leaderboard achievements you can focus on getting ranked 250 by playing and playing. You must get at least 85 thousand points before it counts you on the leaderboards. You also are required to rack up 100 games which is easily done. This is really your only shot to getting these achievements legit. You must be lucky enough to find a language that releases where not many people are playing. On English, even cheating using the Wordament Solver, you will be shocked at how some people will still beat you since it takes a bit for you to type all the letters in.

 

Step 1: English

 

Playing on English, you should be getting most of the achievements except the leaderboard ones. Go for the digram and theme ones. The theme ones are extremely difficult and you may have to resort to using the True Achievements solution where people have posted answers to the themes. Annoyingly, not all answers are in there and you will have wasted precious time looking. It's pretty tough to do.

Step 2: Alternate Language for Leaderboards

 

This should be your focus for the leaderboards. Set it to a language such as Dutch or Swedish and go nuts. If you use a Wordament Solver, be careful not to look obvious. Try for smaller words and keep your score around 200. When you want to rank 1st place, go a little more crazy within reason. You should also go for the best in the hour. Look up the time zone for that language and try to aim for like 2am where they are. Your big grind will be when you go for 85 thousand points to be in the top 250.

Conclusion:

 

An extremely annoying set of achievements which are possible in different languages as long as not too many people join in. If they get flooded, good luck to ever getting this completed. When a new language is supported, make sure you grind the achievements out before it is too late. Do not stall on this game.

 

Warning about battery life consumption

 

This game is by far, the worst game for battery life I have ever experienced. It will eat your battery up fast and your phone will get extremely hot. The game demands you play it for hours with it's achievements. The game also loses connection sometimes for no reason. The worst part is, you must wait 30 seconds between games.

Complete 10 rounds

 

See "Sore Fingers" achievement description.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2319/UPhoW2k=.jpgSpin Cycle 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Rotate the board and find more words in a round

 

This is a very easy achievement, and actually quite helpful when looking for words. There is an icon that looks like the achievement tile while you play a round. Press it to spin the board to show a different angle. Finds some words after you do that to get the achievement.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2319/UPqWiF0=.jpgBeat your Frenemies 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Beat all your Frenemies in a round

 

Frenemies come in two different forms. You automatically have frenemies of people on your friend's list who have played the game. The others you will pick yourself after rounds of the game. You just press on a name you want to add to the frenemy list. Just keep adding people around your rank and as you play games you will see them on a leaderboard list along with your name. If you are above them, you get the achievement.

Play Wordament in more than one language

 

There are multiple languages you can play this game in. Start the game and slide a few screens over until you get to Help & Options. Go to Puzzle Language and pick a different language. Now start up a round.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2319/UPo8SI4=.jpgCH a CH IN g 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Find a digram word in a round

A digram is when there are two letters in a single square. Just finish a word with the combo in it. An example would be H E LL O. Slide your finger across all letters including the combo and when you create a word, the achievement will unlock.

 

Note: These do not appear in every round.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2319/UP-ruSU=.jpgTheme word 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Find a theme word in a round

 

See "Theme Titan" achievement description.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2319/UP+eo3c=.jpgSore fingers20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Complete 100 rounds

 

This will come naturally going for all other achievements. You must play all 100 in a single puzzle language. They do not all add up, so stick to one language for this.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2319/UPmCpU8=.jpgBetter than half 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Place better than 50% of the players in a round

 

See "You're good, real good" achievement description.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2319/UPtFSdI=.jpg"Autobiographical" 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Find the longest possible word in a round

 

This can be a tricky one. Sometimes there are words that are easy to spot and you can get the achievement. Other times, it isn't so obvious and the longest word is a very uncommon word you likely have never heard before. You can test your luck while going for other achievements or use the wordament solver below. Put all the letters in the language you are playing on website. Solve puzzle. Now find the longest word on the list and use it. I suggest after you get it to just back out and not count the game to lower risk of being caught.

Wordament Solver -Use at your own risk and cautiously. You can be banned from the game if caught using it.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2319/UPn9uag=.jpgDigram master 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Find all the digrams in a round

 

There is a banner above the game when there is a digram. It shows how many digrams there are in the puzzle. Focus only on using the words that use that digram tile. With a little luck and brain power you should be able to get the achievement. Worse case scenario, use the puzzle solver below. Enter all of the information and read the list. Now you have the answers. After the achievement unlocks, I suggest backing out so it won't count on the leaderboards.

Find all the themed words in a round

 

This is the hardest non-leaderboard achievement in the game. You must find every themed word. These only happen every 4 or 5 rounds. A themed game is when there is a banner above the puzzle and it will say the theme. This is anywhere from animal sounds to outer space. A lot of them are easy once you get one. Like an example is when a word can be used 3 times. Hiss, Hissing, Hisses. This is usually not the case. Normally the themes focus on less common words and if you fail, you have to wait a handful of rounds before you can attempt another theme. The best way is to go to TrueAchievements.com and search for the game. Find the specific achievement here and go to the solutions. Many people have contributed to a list with words they have found for that theme. The problem is a ton of those only have a couple of them and you will have wasted a lot of time using Control F to search. The way I was able to do it was with the Wordament Solver and I quickly scanned the solution table. It was still a pain, so good luck on this one.

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2319/UPqlsUE=.jpgSweet sixteen 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Find words that use all 16 tiles at least once in one round

 

You'll probably earn this while going for other achievements. You just have to create words while utilizing all of the tiles. This doesn't mean one giant word, it just means each tile has been used once or more in the game.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2319/UP3KsJA=.jpgWin the hour 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Achieve the highest cumulative score, for the hour, of any player on the hourly leaderboard

 

When you look at the leaderboards, there is one that says "for the hour". Your best bet is to get on late (or late for another country). Play for an entire hour trying to get as many rounds and scores in as you can. You must be the number 1 player. The hours are on the dot, so an example would be 2:00am to 3:00am. Once it hits 3am, another "hour" starts. Again, best done on languages that aren't played a whole lot.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2319/UP7tpJ4=.jpgYou're good, real good 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Place in the top 10% of a round

 

After a round, it will show your percentage. Being at 90% or higher will give you the achievement, because it means you are in the top 10%. You should get this automatically when you get to rank 1 on the leaderboards (see that specific achievement below for details).

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2319/UP2-qsI=.jpgYou're on top of the world 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Finish first place in a round

 

If you're playing on English, this is next to impossible. There are way too many people playing this seriously. They play for competition. They want to be ranked high so they can brag and be "known" for it. There are plenty of these kinds of people. You will see several people always in the top 10. This makes this game very annoying as they are stopping use achievement whores dead in our tracks. Get a life, we say! Yet here we are, upset because we want achievements and will play 20 hours of grinding in different languages to do so and shamelessly use the help of Wordament Solver. Anyways just play on a different language and you should get it with the help of the solver or by getting good at that language. An example is Swedish. Go for 3 letter words

and add an A to them. Add an R after the A if it is available. This often results in multiple points.

 

Wordament Solver -Use at your own risk and cautiously. You can be banned from the game if caught using it.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2319/UPupqk8=.jpg10 in 10 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Finish 10 rounds ranked in the top 10

 

The top 10 in leaderboards is easily obtained if playing on a language no one plays on. This would be Swedish, Dutch, and more when they are added. There is normally only around 20 people playing these languages (more in the future as I have written this for current situation in May 2012). As you go being ranked 1, you should get this. If not, go for your 85k points in the language and it should be obtained along the way.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2319/UPgdQTs=.jpgWorld champ 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Become Champ by placing in the top 250 players in any of the "Top Player" leaderboards.

 

There are two different leaderboards for "Top Player". For the achievement to unlock, you must meet all conditions for the leaderboards. Exit the game, and enter again to get the achievement once you have done so.

 

Total Score (All Time)

 

You must get AT LEAST 250,000 total points between all rounds within one language. You must also be in the top 250 people on the leaderboards.

Average Score (All Time)

 

You must get AT LEAST 85,000 total points between all rounds within one language. You must also have played 100+ rounds and be in the top 250 people on the leaderboards.

 

Tip: Play a language that is not played much and keep grinding away. Shoot for 85,000 total points. You will for sure have played 100 games by the time you get the score. You should also be in the top 250.

I'm fairly certain that they have the Win the Hour's achievement description wrong. As the hourly leaderboards are not cumulative, it only ranks the highest scores within the last hour of update.

 

So instead of playing at 500 500 500

Someone who plays at 600, 100 100 would get the top leaderboard slot instead

I'm so pissed off right now. I was easily in the top 100 for both leaderboards in Swedish. I didn't play for a couple days and now I have no chance of getting the "average score top players". Because now I am 300, there is no way to suddenly get better at a language I don't even know. Now I am in the top 250 for total points of all time...but to get the achievement I need 250,000 points and I am at 45k. Are you kidding me!? That's like 40 hours of gameplay! Not just in general, but demanding that I do it right away before people catch up to me.

 

The developers are out of their minds. They are absolutely being unfair about this achievement. Why? What makes someone decide that it would be a good idea? How can this make sense. If someone has 20k total points and they average better than me, they are placed higher. But because I must play hundreds of games more than them, I am punished because they weren't going for the achievement and I was?

Achieve the highest cumulative score, for the hour, of any player on the hourly leaderboard

 

At this time...on the FRENCH language games...by midnight EST, there is only between 10-15 players online. I unlocked this achievement last night myself like this. So, if needed, get on a wordament solver and play along. Alot of the times I was hitting #1 and #2 spots with only 200 or so points.

 

Planning on getting Wolrd Champ on here as well. ONly at 28K but sitting in 500th position or so.

If you do the Swedish version at around 9PM EST there are usually only a couple folks playing (when I got the Top Of The World achievement I was the only person in the room). As the game ends it will show you all the words you "missed". Look at these and it will show you how to maximize the points (like words ending in "a", "en" "ade" etc) VERY few actual English words you will recognize but they are pretty easy to get the hang of after 10 games or so. Took me about a week or so to get to 250k and finish this up so it is pretty achievable.

 

 

 

Like others have said, HAVE THE CHARGER HANDY. I have 2 windows phones and with swapping them back and forth as the batteries died (takes about an hour from full charge) I could puts around doing this while watching tv etc at night.

 

Good luck with it and hope this helps.

20 000 points away from my World Champ achievement on average score (105th) and 217 for All time score, although that one I still need 200K for lol.

 

Again, playing last night around midnight there was between 11-22 people playing.

 

Another tip for those trying for french...if possible, adding A, IE, ENT, AIS, AS, ES at the end of words is a good start. For example, the word ENTRE, you can do:

 

ENTRE

ENTRA

ENTREE

ENTRES

ENTRAS

ENTRAIS

ENTRENT

ENTREES

 

Thats what...150-200 points right there for variations of one word? Of course, that is having those letters appear, but just trying to help out. That works with just about any verb (for those who has a minor grasp of the french language that should help out)

 

EDIT: For those interested in stats, I just unlocked this yesterday with the average score leaderboards. My average score is 340.8 points, and that put me in 97th position.

Finally 200'd this game this past week with the new language updates. So for those having problems with the Win the Hour, I would suggest Arabic as it has (last time I checked) the fewest players playing.

 

Also if you are sure that you have gotten the highest score of that hour and it has not popped, then exit Wordament and then re-enter it. It should pop as it did for me.

Yup gotta agree, Arabic worked a treat for me, even fluked the "long word" in that language somehow! Most of the time there's less than 5 people playing and I swear half the time it was just me!

Hello

Thanks And Happy New Year

After unlocking this achievement I can tell for sure that you don't need to be in top 250. I got my achievement in average score in portuguese leadderboard once I reached 85.000 total points and I was at rank 318. So my theory is you need to score at least 85.000, play 100 rounds and be in top 250 players with those requirements. So If a player have a higher average score than you but hasn't reached 85.000 points total or 100 matches he is not eligible for this achievement so his rank is kinda useless until he fulfill all requirements.

Some additional info.

 

First of all, playing on a Wednesday night in English, I was able to get to #133 for Total score (today) with 48,293 points. I was at #290 or so with about 33,000, so it gives you a rough idea of how high you need to get to break into top 250 during a weekday.

 

The other thing I'll say (that I wish I would have read before tonight) is that they are not linking the new leaderboards to the achievement until Friday, April 26. So if you want to go for a new leaderboard - and I think it's completely doable - you might wait until after Friday.

 

And... I just hope that the achievement unlocks retroactively for me. :(
