SCRABBLE

◦ Scrabble is a word game in which

two to four players score points by
placing tiles, each bearing a single
letter, onto a game board divided
into a 15×15 grid of squares. The
tiles must form words that,
in crossword fashion, read left to
right in rows or downward in
columns and are included in a
standard dictionary or lexicon.
American architect Alfred Mosher
Butts invented the game in
1938. Scrabble is produced in the
United States and Canada
by Hasbro, under the brands of
both of its subsidiaries, Milton
Bradley and Parker Brothers. 
The game is sold in 121 countries and is available in more than 30
languages; approximately 150 million sets have been sold worldwide,
and roughly one-third of American and half of British homes have a
Scrabble set. There are approximately 4,000 Scrabble clubs around the
world.
 How Do I Play Scrabble
?  Know
Things You Should

•If you place the first word in Scrabble, then you receive a Double Word Bonus
for the word you played. For example, you'll earn 20 points for a 10-point word.

•When it's your turn to make a move, build off of another person's word for
your word to be valid. For instance, use the "n" in "friend" to spell "pension.“

•Make sure that when you spell out words, you place letters in a horizontal row
or a vertical column rather than in a diagonal line, which is not allowed.

•At the end of your turn, draw new tiles to replace any tiles you used to spell out
a word. Keep 7 tiles in your rack for each play unless you can't draw any more.
Setup

•Set up the Scrabble board, letter racks, and letter tiles.Lay out the board, put all 100 letter tiles in the cloth bag
that's included with the game, and put out 1 letter rack per player. Make sure each letter rack is placed in front of 1
of the 4 sides on the board

•Give everyone a piece of paper and a pencil, too. That way, they can keep track of all their points.

•If your crew wants to be extra fancy, each player can bring their very own Scrabble score notebook.

•Agree on a dictionary to use for challenges. At some point during the game, it’s possible that someone might play a
word that another player thinks is invalid. In this kind of situation, you’ll need to look up the word in a dictionary.
Make sure everyone is on the same page about the dictionary you’ll use, then refer to it whenever challenges come up.
Or, use the official “Word Checker for Scrabble app instead. Words that are always off limits include:

•Proper nouns—nouns that are always capitalized—like names and places.

•Abbreviations, like “CIA,” “FBI,” or “USA.”
•Prefixes or suffixes by themselves, like “anti-” or “-ful.”
•Hyphenated words, like “short-term” or “old-fashioned.”
•Any other incomplete and unofficial English word, like “ridic” (for “ridiculous”).
• Put all 100 tiles in the bag and shake it.To make sure you randomize all the letters so no one knows what they’re
pulling, fill the bag with all the tiles, use the drawstring to close it, and shake them around. Whoever goes first is
based on the tile they pull, which is left up entirely to chance.

• Pull a tile to decide who plays first.Pass the bag around the table and let each player draw 1 tile. Next, each person
places their tile face up on the table. The player with the letter that is closest to the letter “A” makes the first
Scrabble play. If anyone draws a blank tile, they automatically start the game.[3]After sorting out the order everyone
will go in, put all the letter tiles back in the bag and shuffle them again.

• Fill your rack with 7 tiles.Let the person who drew the tile closest to “A” go first. Hold the bag above eye level so
they can’t see any of the tiles. Once everyone else takes out 7 tiles, make sure they put them onto their tile rack.
Then, have them pass the bag to the next player until everyone has drawn their letters and filled their tile racks.

Objective

The goal of Scrabble is to earn the highest score by the end of the game.You earn points by spelling
words with letter tiles.

• Scrabble is finished once all the players have used all their tiles, all the tiles in the bag have already
been drawn, or there are no longer any words that can be played.
Gameplay

Play the first word if you chose the tile closest to “A.” The word must use at least 2 tiles, and 1 of them must be
placed on the star square in the center of the board. 

•Keep track of the points for each play! More on that in the Scoring section.

•The star counts as a “Premium Square,” and it doubles the score of the player who places their first word. For
example, if the total value of the first word played was 10, then the player actually doubles that and collects 20
points.

Draw new tiles at the end of each round.After you’re done with your turn, grab new tiles to replace any that you
just played.

•Pass the bag to the next player so they can draw new tiles at the end of their turn, too.

•Make sure that everyone has 7 tiles again by the end of their turn unless there aren't enough tiles left in the bag to
make this possible.

Go clockwise to give the next player their turn.Once the first player has made their move and ended their turn, the
person to the left of this individual follows suit. When this player finishes up with their turn, then the person to the
left of them makes their play, and so on.
Build off another player’s word when it’s your turn.When it’s your turn again, make sure to keep adding onto
the words that other opponents have just played.

•Make sure to consider all the connected tiles. If you add tiles to someone else’s word on the board, the tiles must
create 1 new word. However, if your tiles touch other tiles somewhere else on the board, these connections need
to also make valid words for your play to count.

•For example, build the word “noisy” by using the "n" in another player’s word, “pension,” to connect all of the
words.

Challenge a player if you think their word is invalid.Whenever you genuinely believe that a player has placed
down a word that doesn’t exist or is misspelled, challenge that player. 

•Just be careful—if the word is in the dictionary and the player has spelled it correctly, then the word stays and
the player gets the points. As the challenger, you’ll lose your turn.

•If the word is not in the dictionary or the player has spelled it incorrectly, then the player must remove the word
from the board. The player gains no points and loses that turn.
Exchange tiles if you want different ones.At some point during the game, you might decide that you want to
exchange some or all of your tiles for new ones. You can use a turn to get new tiles.

•Just keep in mind that you can’t play a word in addition to drawing new tiles, so this move counts as your turn.

•There's also a chance that you might draw some of the letter tiles you were trying to get rid of, especially if the
number of tiles in the bag is running low.

•"Pass" if you'd prefer to neither place a word nor exchange tiles.Sometimes, you might feel like you've run out
of options for that turn. You may also think your current tiles might pay off on another round, so you don't want to
exchange them for new ones.

•Keep in mind that the game ends if all players choose to "pass" for two consecutive turns in a row.
 Official Scrabble Rules
The Scrabble Board
 
A standard Scrabble board will consist of cells that are located in a large square grid. The board offers 15
cells high and 15 cells wide. The tiles used on the game will fit in each cell on the board.
 
Scrabble Tiles
 
There are 100 tiles that are used in the game and 98 of them will contain letters and point values. There
are 2 blank tiles that can be used as wild tiles to take the place of any letter. When a blank is played, it
will remain in the game as the letter it substituted for.
 
Different letters in the game will have various point values and this will depend on how rare the letter is
and how difficult it may be to lay that letter. Blank tiles will have no point values.
Tile Values
 
Below are the point values for each letter that is used in a Scrabble game.
0 Points - Blank tile.
1 Point - A, E, I, L, N, O, R, S, T and U.
2 Points - D and G.
3 Points - B, C, M and P.
4 Points - F, H, V, W and Y.
5 Points - K.
8 Points - J and X.
10 Points - Q and Z.
Extra Point Values
When looking at the board, players will see that some squares offer multipliers. Should a tile be placed on these
squares, the value of the tile will be multiplied by 2x or 3x. Some squares will also multiply the total value of the word
and not just the single point value of one tile.
 
Double Letter Scores - The light blue cells in the board are isolated and when these are used, they will double the
value of the tile placed on that square.
 
Triple Letter Score - The dark blue cell in the board will be worth triple the amount, so any tile placed here will earn
more points.
 
Double Word Score - When a cell is light red in color, it is a double word cell and these run diagonally on the board,
towards the four corners. When a word is placed on these squares, the entire value of the word will be doubled.
 
Triple Word Score - The dark red square is where the high points can be earned as this will triple the word score.
Placing any word on these squares will boos points drastically. These are found on all four sides of the board and are
equidistant from the corners.
 
One Single Use - When using the extra point squares on the board, they can only be used one time. If a player places a
word here, it cannot be used as a multiplier by placing another word on the same square.
The First Word Score
When the game begins, the first player will place their word on the star spin in the centre of the board. The star is a
double square and will offer a double word score.

Replacing Scrabble Tiles

Once tiles are played on the board, players will draw new tiles to replace those. Players will always have seven tiles
during the game.

The Fifty Point Bonus

Exciting rewards can come when players use all seven tiles to create a word on the board. When this happens,
players will receive a 50 point bonus, in addition to the value of the word.

The End of a Scrabble Game

Once all tiles are gone from the bag and a single player has placed all of their tiles, the game will end and the player
with the highest score wins.

Tallying Scrabble Scores

When the game ends, each player will count all points that are remaining on their tiles that have not been played.
This amount will be deducted from the final score
Accepted Scrabble Words
 
Any word that is found in a standard English dictionary can be used in the game of Scrabble.
There are also Official Scrabble Dictionaries that can be purchased for more word options.
