Use Post-Game Analysis (Pro)

Derek, a competitive player on the Pro tier, uses post-game analysis after nearly every game to find the words he missed and study his tile-placement efficiency. This is a Pro-exclusive feature.

What Post-Game Analysis Shows​

After completing a game, analysis breaks down every turn and shows:

  • What you played and the points it scored.
  • Alternative words you could have played with your tiles at that moment, ranked by points.
  • Optimal play marker — turns where you found the best available word get an "Optimal play!" label.
  • Efficiency summary — a percentage score showing how close your total was to the theoretical maximum with your tiles (e.g., "215 / 280 possible — 77% efficiency").
  • Vocabulary report — unique words you played, and which were from your selected word list.

Running Analysis​

  1. On the Game Over screen, tap Analyze Game.
  2. A progress indicator shows while the engine recalculates all turns: "Analyzing 23 turns..."
  3. Analysis typically completes in 5–15 seconds depending on game length.

Reading the Analysis Screen​

The screen shows a turn-by-turn list. Each entry displays:

Turn 5:  You played "CAT" — 8 pts
         Could have played: "CATCH" (18 pts), "CHAT" (14 pts), "ACT" (10 pts)

Turn 12: You played "ZONE" — 26 pts  ✓ Optimal play!

Tap any suggested alternative word to see where it would have been placed on the board.

Upgrading to Pro​

If you're on Free or Plus, tapping Analyze Game shows the Pro paywall with a preview of your results (blurred). Tap Upgrade to Pro and complete the Play Store subscription to unlock analysis immediately.

Post-game analysis requires a Pro subscription. See Upgrade to Pro for step-by-step instructions.

Tips​

  • Review analysis for your losses first — those games show your largest improvement opportunities.
  • Note the 2–3 high-value words you consistently miss. They often share a pattern (suffix -ING or -ED, common Q-without-U words). Studying them pays off in future games.
  • Analysis is saved with each game and accessible again from the History tab any time.
