SELECT * FROM (
    SELECT @rank:=@rank + 1 AS rank,score, user_id FROM site_crossword_members ORDER BY score DESC 
) as tmp;

Are you sure that your given query even works properly? I recall ORDER BY to be done after SELECT, thus making your rank sort by ID ASC or similiar.

SELECT user_id, 
    CASE WHEN @score != score THEN @rank := @rank + 1 ELSE @rank END AS rank,
    @score := score AS dummy_value
FROM (  SELECT score, user_id
        FROM site_crossword_members, 
            (SELECT @rank := 0, @score := NULL) AS vars
        ORDER BY score DESC) AS h

Shortened version:

SELECT user_id, 
    @rank := @rank + (@score != score) AS rank,
    @score := score AS dummy_value
FROM (  SELECT score, user_id
        FROM site_crossword_members, 
            (SELECT @rank := 0, @score := NULL) AS vars
        ORDER BY score DESC) AS h
