The first item in the statistics list determines what statistics are shown. Overall statistics will show accumulated statistics for all dictionary and board type you have played. Tapping this item lets you limit the statistics to a single game type.
A line chart that shows how your skill rating has evolved over time is available when a single game type is chosen. Hold your phone in landscape orientation to see this chart in full screen, allowing you to zoom in on the details.
The Friend statistics page list all friends you have ever played. The columns show how many games you have won, tied or lost to your friend. By tapping the friend's name you may get detailed information about this player (their User Profile).
Statistics are available as part of the Premium upgrade.
