Can you see opponents letters in Words With Friends?

They can't see your letters, and without seeing the board, I'd assume that they went with a worse case scenario on their part. Since BAGS gives nine points on it's own, I'll take a guess that it was going to either lead to a double or triple giving you 18 or 27 points respectively.

How do you know if someone is cheating in Words With Friends?

They could cheat in the first game because they could take any length of time, but after their first go, you should be able to tell if you are both playing at the same time. If they don't play their moves regularly, but always beat you on the first game and not the second, then it might indicate that they cheat.

Answer 2

Near the end of the game, when the tile bag says Zero, you can actually click on the tile bag feature and there are letters in there... they are your opponent's. Sometimes it may be a little different, but based on many games I've played you can pretty much tell what they have at the very end. I guess it's not too cool to know, but you can. Actually, they should fix that. After all, it's hard not to look if you know that; and you will be tempted to play so they can't use their letters to score the highest points.

Answer 4

They can't see your letters, and without seeing the board, I'd assume that they went with a worse case scenario on their part. Since BAGS gives nine points on it's own, I'll take a guess that it was going to either lead to a double or triple giving you 18 or 27 points respectively. Not to mention since it's a short simple word, you're more likely to have it pop out at you for a quick win.
