Words With Friends engages the brain ('Just warding off dementia, dear!' ), and as the thinking man's crack, you can always have more and it never makes you fat. Should a craving arise, you can instantly, in the middle of the night, begin new games with strangers in Ireland, Sydney, Ohio - wherever a fellow word slut fiends for a fix.
Go to your journal and save the game. Do not exit the save menu; just keep choosing 'Yes' to save repeatedly.
Easy 50 Finger Whistle NoteGo into your house and press R(50). It does not matter if your animal is near you or not.
Easy 10,000 Step NoteGo into your house and set your character against a wall. Keep the Analog-stick held so that your character walks against that wall. If you are facing the top wall, set up the Analog-stick so that it stays in the up position. This will take some time, but you can get rid of the pedometer at the beginning of the game.
Move your character to the bottom-left corner of your house (time does not pass in the house). Then, use a rubber band around the part of the controller where you would leave your left hand. Then, just pull the rubber band over the control stick. This works better with a smaller rubberband. This should make your character run against the bottom-left wall, and leave you free while you get the note.
Easy First Shipping NoteGo to your shipping box and get a nearby log. Put the log in the shipping box and you will get the First Shipping Note.

Easy moneyMake sure the only thing you have in your rucksack is a hammer. Go to Moonlight Cave (near the doctor's office) and look for a hole in the ground somewhere. Go to it, and a message will appear asking if you would like to go in. Select 'Yes'; you will be at sub-level 2. You should see some bluish crystals and some black stones. Hit all of the crystals with X. If you find some gold, Rare Ore, or stones, keep it. Fill your rucksack, then go to the stairs and exit the cave. Put all your finds into the Shipping Box. This trick works better with Lake Cave and if you only take Rare Ores and stones from there. Note: You will get low on energy and must find a way to restore it. Additionally, go up to the mountain every day and look for green medicine plants. They are worth 100G each. The purple ones are worth only about 35G.
This trick requires a Pot and an Aging Pot. First, go to the Blue Sky Ranch and buy an egg for 120G. Then, go home and use the Pot with the egg to make a Boiled Egg. Use the Boiled Egg with the Aging Pot to create a Deviled Egg. The Deviled Egg can be sold for 250G, which is a 130G profit. Do this to five eggs to get an extra 650G profit. The more money you spend on eggs, the more of a profit you will make.
Find Gold or Amethyst Ores in the cave by Jamie's Ranch. Then, go to the place where the old man changes Ores into accessories. Talk to him and select the 'Accessories' option. You will see two pictures of a ring and a brooch. It will cost some money, but select the 'Ring' option. It will take two days for him to make it out of the Ore. Return and get it in two days, then put it in your shipping bin to get 1,000G. The more expensive the jewel, the more money you will get for the accessory.
In the Fall, go to the sign that reads 'Harvest Goddess Spring'. Instead of turning towards it, turn the other way. Look for a blue flower called a Blue Mist Flower. Once you get it, ship it and you will get 500G.
Go to where the Seed Shop is located and look around. There should be some stakes that you can pick up and sell for 30G each.
SanitariumShip thirty herbs total and have Alex at one heart to unlock the Sanitarium. It is open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., but is closed on holidays. Its inhabitants are Gina and Dia. The sanitorium sells nothing, but is needed for two of the potential brides to move into town. You can visit it to woo Gina, and Dia is very seldom found outside its walls.
Saving the Harvest GoddessAs you slowly collect Magical Notes over time, the Harvest Goddess Spring will become more vibrant (more animals, flowers, lights, etc.). Each time you collect 5 Notes you will get a new musical instrument or other reward. Once you collect 50 Notes, all these instruments will come together and make music that wakes the Harvest Goddess.
Better milkTo get better milk, do not put the fodder in the bin; feed it directly to them. Make sure that you milk your cows after you talk, and brush them, for a higher chance of special milk. Also, let them graze in the fields as often as possible.
LibraryIt opens in mid-spring of Year 1. The hours of operation 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. It is closed Mondays and holidays. It is occupied by Maria. The library has various books for you to read and research. Maria is a possible spouse.
Prevent people from moving into townBecome good friends with Theodore (three or more hearts), then go to Woody. He will allow you to buy land that future stores will be built upon. Buy it and the store owners can never open up a store. Note: You cannot sell the land once you buy it.
Energy in Moonlight MineEat the Pontata Roots that you find while digging in the Moonlight Mine to keep your energy up.
Go down faster in the cavesWhen you go in a cave, hold Z at all times while you are running on top of the holes in the floor to decrease the chance of being sent up and go to a floor lower than normal. For example, if you are on floor 84 and you step on a hole without holding Z, you may go to floor 90. However, if you hold Z, the same hole would take you to floor 91.
SmokeIn the cave by Jamie's ranch, when you hit the rocks crystal smoke will come out of them. The yellow smoke makes you move faster. The orange smoke freezes you. Black smoke gets in your eyes so that the area of light around you gets smaller. Purple smoke confuses you (you may move in the opposite direction). Pink smoke makes your stamina go up. White smoke disables the effect of the other types of smoke.
Power BerriesPower Berries are received in the following ways:
Horse race: Get a horse to five or six hearts worth of affection, then enter it in the Spring or Fall horse race. Win that race to get a Power Berry.
Beach festival: Win the swimming competition for the first time to get a Power Berry.
Pumpkin festival: Make sure you ship a pumpkin in the week before the Pumpkin festival. On the day of festivities you will get a Power Berry from the Mayor.
30 Notes: Obtain 30 Musical Notes and visit the Harvest Goddess Spring to get a Power Berry. Make sure you have seen every event for every five Notes before as well, or you will need to keep entering until you catch up.
Moonlight Mine: Reach the 100th floor of the Moonlight Mine to get a Power Berry from Tim.
When you attend the Flame Festival and get the Flame Note, go to the 'Notes' menu. When you scroll over the Note, it will read 'Obtained while at the Firefly Festival'.
