SCRABBLE ATTACKS

Rules

  • All tiles are flipped over at the beginning
  • Players take turns, flipping over one tile at a time
  • If there is a word of 4 or more letters in the overturned tiles, a player can shout it out to claim it
  • Also, if a player can add an overturned title to an existing word or combine two existing words to make a new word,
  • You can't just add an S, D, or R to the end of a word
  • Once tiles are in a word, they can't be removed, although they can be rearranged within that word or combined with other tiles or words
  • The last person to claim a word has the next turn
  • It doesn't have to be your turn to claim a word
  • Your score is the scrabble point value of all the words you've claimed
