across or down on the board and by stacking letters on top of letters
already on the board to form different words. It's this
gameplay that makes

each letter of your

word.Letters can be stacked five tiles high so your score

On your turn, play one or more letter tiles,
either to form a new word that connects to
a word already on the board, or to change a
word already on the board to a different word. All letters played on your
turn must be in the same row of game squares either across or down.
Tally and announce your point score, then draw letter tiles from the
draw pile to replace the ones you played.
