scramble with friends gives “hands” which has quite a lot of common consonants, like t, s or m, and mixes them with a number of vowels like e. therefore, it is easy to find words by going systematically from consonant to consonant and linking them to vowels around them to form words.

there is a cheat i know of that is on android that i have seen people using, whereby the program finds the words and uses a line that appears on the screen to show the user the word. in this way, the user can easily see what words the finder has found without switching from one screen to the other. however, i don’t know the name of that app, since i don’t use an android…
