Object: Form words and collect more points than your opponent.
 
This is the famous Scrabble board game, with the following differences:
- You always can see your opponent's letters.
- The words are not checked by the system; you are the judge.
 
You start as Joe and play against Pat. To start, click the board to get your letters.
 
If you put down less than seven letters, click the PASS button.
The first letter must be placed at the centre square.
Each new letter must be placed next to an existing letter.

 
You can shuffle the letters on your rack at any time.
 
The number of letters left in the bag is indicated at the bottom of the board.
Instead of putting down a word, you may dump one or more letters into the bag (move letter to bag button) and then press the PASS button. These letters are not lost. Scrabl will redistribute them.
 
The system counts your points automatically.
If you use all seven letters you get a 50 points bonus.
Leftover letters on rack at end of game will be added twice to opponent's score.
The player with the most points wins.
