In order to receive trophies and keep/improve your rank (which improves rewards), there are three arena games offered. One or more will be going all the time, but if you want to play a specific one, you need to wait. Other games (not the main Scrabble game) are only offered for a limited time or you need to commit significant time to them to succeed.
These can usually be skipped after five seconds or by purchasing a subscription
Diamonds/gems which can be used for boosts or to buy rewards
The subscription gives you significant advantage over other players, including a meter to show you how good your word is (compared to all plays available) and shows you the best play after you've played your word.
It's not super obvious, but also you do get rewarded for inviting friends.
Notifications will tell you that your friend is waiting for you to play or that they've nudged you or that your game is about to expire. This is true of strangers as well who have challenged you to a game.
I have a number of levels/experience built up, have collected a number of tiles, have my statistics based on game play, and I'm in a high league based on how much I play.
Collecting tiles and parts of tiles is the main one. Sometimes tiles are back for a limited time or you can only earn them in certain games/ways.
Side games only appear for a limited time.
You usually need to use the in-game currency.
