RULES IN PLAYING SCRABBLE

• All tiles should be placed in a letter pouch or placed face down on the table beside the board.
• Ensure that letters are well mixed, and that players do not know which letter is in a particular spot.
• To determine who goes first, each player draws a letter – the player with the letter closest to “A” goes first. The
‘blank’ tile automatically goes first.
• Ensure you thoroughly remix the tiles before drawing letters. Each player draws 7 letters and places them on his or
her letter rack.
• There are three main steps to a turn:
1) Play a Word
2) Total the Score for that Word
3) Draw Tiles to Replace the Tiles Played
• The first player must play his or her first word on the center square of the board, the spot that has a ‘star’ on it.
• All words must be two or more letters long. Words are played either vertically or horizontally. Diagonal word play
is not permitted.
• Play always moves clockwise (to the left). Each player must playoff of words already present on the board. This
may involve changing existing words (for example, making the word ‘play’ into ‘player’) or by incorporating a letter
into the word you are playing.
• You can place letters in both directions on a single turn. The letters placed must form complete words. Anytime
two or more letters touch, they must form valid, legal words. For example, if you add an ‘s’ to an existing word to
make it plural and then build a separate word from that ‘s’ in the opposite direction, you will get full credit for both
words. No tile can be moved or shifted once it is played (baring a successful challenge).
• Whenever a word is played, other players may challenge the word if they do not believe it is a real word or it is
spelled wrong. According to Scrabble rules, players should agree before the game begins on the dictionary that they
will use.
• If you want to challenge an opponent’s word, you must challenge it before the play moves on to the next player. If
the challenged word is not legal, the tiles must be returned to the player’s hand and that player loses the turn. If a
word is challenged and it is legal, the challenger loses his or her next turn. If multiple words are made in a turn, all
words are challenged when one word is challenged. If any of the words are not legal, all tiles will be returned to their
owner’s hand and that player loses his or her turn.
• The dictionary should only be consulted if a word is actually challenged and should never be used before a word is
played for verification purposes.
Score Keeping
• One player should be elected as the score keeper. The scorekeeper should doublecheck the tally for each word.
Each letter tile has the value of that letter. Unless the tile is on a Premium Letter Square, these should be counted at
face value and totaled for the word.
Winning the Game
• When one player plays his or her last tile, and no more tiles are available to draw, the game is over per scrabble
rules. Any remaining tiles should be subtracted from that player’s score. The player with the highest score wins the
game. You may opt to allow each player one turn to attempt to play as many of his or her remaining tiles as possible.
