DO YOU WANT TO PLAY SCRABBLE? 

Scrabble is a 2-4 player word game where players score points by placing letter tiles on a 

 grid. The goal is to maximize scores using premium squares (Double/Triple Letter/Word scores) and by playing all seven tiles (a "Bingo" for +50 points). Valid words are found in standard dictionaries, excluding proper nouns, abbreviations, or hyphenated words. 

Core Rules & Gameplay

• Starting: Each player draws 7 tiles; the player with the letter closest to 'A' (blank beats 'A') goes first.
• First Word: The first word must cover the center star (H8), which is a Double Word Score.
• Valid Moves: Words must be placed horizontally or vertically. All letters must connect to existing tiles.
• Replacing Tiles: After playing, draw new tiles from the bag to maintain 7 on the rack.
• Passing/Exchanging: A player may pass or exchange any number of tiles, skipping their turn.
• End of Game: The game ends when all tiles are gone and one player uses their last letter, or when all players pass twice consecutively. 

Scoring & Bonuses

• Letter/Word Premiums: Letter premiums apply only on the first turn the square is used. Word premiums are applied after letter premiums.
• Bingo: Playing all seven tiles in a single turn earns a 50-point bonus.
• Final Scoring: Unused tiles on a player’s rack are deducted from their score. If a player empties their rack, the sum of all other players' remaining tiles is added to their score. 

Forbidden Words & Moves

• Proper nouns, abbreviations, prefixes/suffixes, and words requiring hyphens or apostrophes are invalid.
• Tiles cannot be moved once "submitted".
• If a played word is challenged and found to be invalid, the player removes the tiles and loses that turn. 
• A prefix is a letter or group of letters added to the beginning of a root word to change its meaning (e.g., unhappy). A suffix is added to the end of a word to alter its meaning or grammatical function (e.g., painter). They are used to create new words, opposite meanings, or change parts of speech. 
  Common Prefixes and Examples
  • Un- (not/opposite): Unhappy, Undo, Unfold.
  Re- (again): Redo, Reappear, Rewrite.
  Dis- (not/away): Disagree, Disappear, Dishonest.
  Pre- (before): Prepay, Preview, Preheat.
  Mis- (wrongly): Misunderstand, Misspell, Misplace.
