advantage of the letter values, as well as the values of the “premium” squares on the board.

• Player 1 always goes first.

• Each player starts with seven letter tiles in his or her letter rack. Player 1 combines two or more letter tiles to form a word and places it on the board to read either across or down. One of the letters must be placed on the center <star> square.

• On subsequent turns, each player adds one or more letters to those already played to form new words. All letters played in a turn must be placed in one row — either across or down — to form one complete word. All words must have at least two letters. If the letters played touch other letters in adjacent rows, they must form complete words, crosswise fashion, with these letters. The player gets full credit for all words formed or modified on their turn.

• A player completes a turn by adding together the letter values of all new words formed on that turn. The player then draws as many new letter tiles as those played, thereby always keeping seven letter tiles in his/her letter rack.

• Either of the two blank tiles may be used as any letter. Once a player states which letter the blank tile represents, it remains that letter for the rest of the game.

• A player may use a turn to exchange some or all of the tiles in his or her tile rack, provided there are at least seven tiles left to draw. The player draws as many new letter tiles as are returned to the pool. This ends the turn.

• All words, including those of foreign origin, as well as obsolete, colloquial, or slang words are permitted. Words that are not permitted include those that are always capitalized, abbreviations, prefixes and suffixes used alone, and those requiring a hyphen or an apostrophe.

• A player may challenge his/her opponent’s last word (unless playing against Maven). If the word challenged is unacceptable, the challenged player’s tiles are automatically returned to his/her rack and he/she loses that turn. If the word challenged is acceptable, the challenger loses his/her next turn. Note: The Challenge Penalty option must be enabled in order for a player to lose his/her turn.

• The game ends when all letters have been drawn and one player uses his or her last letter; or when all possible plays have been made, or when each player scores zero points (by passing, exchanging or losing challenges) on three consecutive turns.

Scoring

Scoring for the SCRABBLE Complete CD-ROM game is done automatically. Here’s how scores are calculated:

• The score for each turn is the sum of the letter values in each word formed or modified on that turn, plus the additional points obtained from placing letters on premium squares.

• Premium letter squares: A light blue square doubles the score of a letter placed on it; a dark blue square triples the letter score.

• Click on the arrow buttons to scroll up to see previous chat messages.

• The hosting player will start the game.

The Basic Rules of the SCRABBLE Game

Players form interlocking words, crossword fashion, on the board using letter tiles of varying values. Each player competes for high score by taking

The Gameplay Screen

The Gameplay Screen features several on-screen buttons. Note: The actual buttons that appear and are active depends on the selections you made on the Options Menu described on page 19. The on-screen buttons are described through page 15:

PLAY – Play your turn. TAK E B ACK – Remove tiles you have just placed

from the board and return them to your rack.

SHUFFLE – Shuffle the tiles on your rack. PA SS – Pass your turn to the next player without

playing a word. Note: If all players pass in three consecutive turns, the game ends.

GAME MENU – Open the Game Menu window. From here you can select from the following:

Main Menu – Return to the Main Menu. Start New Game – Start another game with

the same players and configuration.

Save Game – Save your current game. Load Game – Load a previously saved game. Options – Bring up the Options Menu.

Quit – Exit the program and return to the

Windows

desktop.

Cancel – Return to the Gameplay Screen.

DEFINE LAST – Define the last played word.

From the Define Last window, complete the following steps:

• Click on the arrow to open a drop-down menu featuring all words previously played.

• Check the “Show Every Turn” box to bring up the Define Last window after every word is played on the board.

• Click DONE to close the box.

EXCHANGE – Click here if you would like to exchange the tiles in your rack. Then click on each tile you wish to exchange. The unwanted tile(s) will automatically be removed. Click DONE when you are finished selecting your unwanted tile(s). (If you change your mind, click CANCEL instead of DONE.) The Tile Tray will then appear. Select your new tiles by clicking on the ones you want, or clicking on AUTO PICK to have the program select your new tiles for you.

PAU SE – Pause the game. HINT – Need help? Get a hint from Maven as

to what the best play would be with the tiles currently in your rack. Hints will be given in progression, with each additional hint giving you more and more information. When you’ve exhausted the hints, the actual answer will be revealed. To play that answer, click on the “Perform Hint” button when it appears. Note: Hints are not allowed under Tournament rules.

• Premium word squares: The score for an entire word is doubled when one of its letters is placed on a pink square; it is tripled when one of its letters is placed on a red square. Premiums for double or triple letter values are included (if any) before doubling or tripling the word score. If a word is formed that covers two premium word squares, the score is doubled and then re-doubled (four times the letter count).

Note: The center <star> square is pink, which always doubles the score for the first word.

• Letter and square premiums count only on the turn in which they are played.

• When a blank tile is played on a pink or red square, the value of the word is doubled or tripled, even though the blank itself has no score value.

• When two or more words are formed in the same play, each is scored. The common letter is counted (with full premium value, if any) for each word.

• Any player who plays all seven tiles on a turn scores a “Bingo” for a premium of 50 points after totaling his or her score for the turn.

• When the game ends, each player’s score is

reduced by the sum of his or her unplayed letters. If a player has used all of his or her

letters, the sum of the other players’ unplayed letters is added to that player’s score.

How to Win

The player with the highest final score wins the game. In case of a tie, the player with the highest score before adding or deducting unplayed letters wins.

Turn 1; Score 14 Turn 2; Score 9

Turn 3; Score 25 Turn 4; Score 16

J, Q, X, Z – This list features all words that use the letters “J,” “Q,” “X,” or “Z” when combined with the letters currently in your rack. Important! The entire word may not be made up of the letters on your rack. You

2-Letter Words

Increase your two-letter word vocabulary. You will begin with a rack of tiles. Try to find as many two-letter words as possible. The upper left-hand score box will display how many words are possible, how many you have gotten, and how many tries you have used. To play a turn:

• Place a two-letter word along the bottom row

of the SCRABBLE board.

• Click on PLAY to enter the word.

• If the word is valid, it will be placed in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. All subsequent valid words will be placed under the last played word.

• If your word is challenged, your tiles will be returned to your rack.

3-Letter Words

This is just like the 2-Letter Words game, only this time the goal is to increase your three-letter word vocabulary.

Suffixes

A suffix will be placed on the SCRABBLE board. It is up to you to make a word with the tiles in your rack and the suffix that is on the board. To play a turn:

• Place tiles in front of the suffix that is already on the board.

• Click on PLAY to enter the word.

• If the word is valid, it will be placed in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. All subsequent valid words will be placed under the last played word.

• If your word is challenged, your tiles will be returned to your rack.

Prefixes

This is just like Suffixes, only this time you’re adding tiles after the prefixes!

Word Placement

Find the best spot to place the given word. You will be given a board position with a pre-generated word spelled out in your rack. Find the place on the board that will give you the maximum number of points. To play a turn:

• Click on the tiles in your rack.

• Spell the word on the board and then click on PLAY.

Best Play

Find the best possible play with a random rack of tiles and an existing board setup. To play a turn:

Anagrams

Increase your anagramming skills. You will be given a rack of tiles. Try to find as many words as possible. The upper left-hand score box will display how many words are possible, how many you have gotten, and how many tries you have used.

Challenging A Word

The game’s built-in Official SCRABBLE Player’s Dictionary automatically verifies words that are

placed on the board. No user challenges are permitted while the Auto Challenge option is enabled. If a word is deemed invalid, the player will lose his/her turn. Note: Human players can never challenge Maven.

On-Screen Scoring

The word score for a player’s last turn is displayed at the top of the screen. Each player’s total score is always displayed in the player’s score box.

Replenishing Your Rack

Following a valid play, the Tile Tray will appear. Select tiles to replenish your rack by clicking on the ones you want, or clicking on AUTO PICK to have the program select your new tiles for you.

SCRABBLE Mini Games

SCRABBLE mini games are fun exercises that are designed to help you improve your SCRABBLE skills. The words used in the mini games are

generated by Maven. Every SCRABBLE game that you play (either regular SCRABBLE, or one of the mini games) is “observed” by Maven. Any words that are played will be used to automatically adjust the difficulty level of a mini game.

For all mini games:

• Use HINTS, GUIDES and SUGGESTIONS if you need help.

• Click on GIVE UP to see the game’s solution.

• Click on RESTART to play another game.

The SCRABBLE Mini Games Menu offers several different options. To improve your SCRABBLE gameplay, or to play one of the SCRABBLE mini games, click on one of the following:

Professor Maven

SCRABBLE Complete tracks all of the games that logged-in players have ever played.

Use the PREV and NEXT buttons to page through Professor Maven’s analysis.

Review Games

This selection shows you your last played game turn by turn. You will be given information about the best possible plays that you could have made, and an analysis of the game turn. Select a previous game session for loading. Click on the left and right arrow buttons to page through the game’s played moves. Use the PREV and NEXT buttons to page through the game analysis.

Note: Any time remaining from the previous turn will be added to the timer. So the faster you place words, the better!
