I don't know, I've never played Scrabble, but in Words with Friends, if I'm against a poor opponent, I get every single double and triple word score and they get none. The entire game is basically about preventing your opponent from getting them by where you play. Sometimes you will play a short word just to spoil their chance of getting one. I admit it is a completely different game, though, because all players are allowed to try all combinations and placements of their letters before submitting their turn. There is no penalty for laying out your letters and trying to submit to check if they work, basically. So one can try all possible bingo combinations on their turn if they want.
