Introduction

The objective of the game is to form words on the game board using the tiles you have at your disposal. Points are awarded based on the "value" of each tile and the type of square on which the tile is placed.

Tile placement

Tiles are placed in a vertical or horizontal line on the board. At least one of the tiles must be placed adjacent to an existing board tile. Exception: On the first move, one of the tiles must instead cross the center of the board.

Blank tiles

In addition to the regular tiles, players can also get blank tiles from the bag. These tiles can be assigned a letter when they are placed on the board, and are worth 0 points.

Bonus squares

The bonus squares on the board modify the score earned for a move as follows:

• DL (double letter): The points for the tile placed on this square is doubled.
• TL (triple letter): The points for the tile placed on this square is tripled.
• DW (double word): The points for the word that crosses this square is doubled.
• TW (triple word): The points for the word that crosses this square is tripled.

Letter multipliers are applied before considering word multipliers.

If a player uses all seven tiles he is awarded an additional 40 points.

Passing

If a player is unable to form new words with the tiles at his disposal, he can instead choose to pass his turn to the opponent. If three passes are made in a row, the game will end and final scores are calculated according to the rules below.

Swapping tiles

A player can choose to swap one or more of his tiles instead of playing a word. Note that this is only possible if there are at least seven remaining tiles in the bag.

Turn time limit

A player has 72 hours to complete his or her turn. After this the player will be resigned automatically, and the opponent will win the game.

End game

The game ends when one of the players has used all his tiles and there are no more tiles left in the bag, or after three consecutive passes.

Points on remaining tiles are subtracted from each player's score, then added to the opponent's score if he used all his tiles. The player with the highest final score wins the game.
