Click the left board anywhere to randomize the setup.
The inner 10x10 board will be filled with 98 letters and four question marks. The question marks represent blanks (jokers) and can stand for any letter.

Once the board has been filled with letters, click the border to place your man.
The man can be moved up to 9 steps at a time in 4 directions.
It must always land on a letter.
The letter your man encounters will be placed onto your rack.
Once you have a letter on your rack, you cannot put it back onto the board.
You can shuffle the letters on your rack as much as you like.
You can click one of the two arrows to cycle your letters on the rack.

If you click the COUNT button, the first word (consecutive string of letters) on your rack will be counted. The word must be at least two letters long.
A 7-letter word gets a bonus of 50 points, an 8-letter word a bonus of 60 points!
The validity of the words are not checked by the system; you are the judge. (Recommended: use a Scrabble dictionary).

Each letter on the board can only be used once.
Once you have a word has been counted, its letters will disappear from the rack.
The words you created will be displayed on the right board.

If you run out of moves, the game is over.
If you still have one or more letters on the rack, but cannot make a word, you can click the STOP button and the system will issue a win/lose message.
You win if you have over 400 points.
Achieving over 500 points is excellent, over 600 is mastership.

Variant 2: Here you cannot shuffle the rack. This makes creating words much harder. Hence 300 points is the goal, 400 is excellent and 450 is mastership!
Variant 3: find the highest-scoring word (7 or 8 letters long). 50 points is the goal, 60 is excellent and 70 is mastership!
Variant 4: find the highest-scoring word; no shuffling allowed. 50 points is the goal, 60 is excellent and 70 is mastership!
Other Variants: These are some variants with fixed setups; solutions are included.

Please note that there are several piece sets available.
