Object: Form words and collect more points than your opponent.
 
This is a Scrabble variant, with the following changes:
- You always can see your opponent's letters.
- You can spell words backwards: write up, down, to the left or right.
- You only have six letters at any time.
- You only get 30 points bonus if you put all your six letters down at once.
 
You start as Joe and play against Pat.
To start, click the board to get your letters.
If you put down less than 6 letters, click the PASS button.
The first letter must be placed at the centre square.
(For technical reasons, after shuffling your letters only the letter last shuffled can be moved out.)
 
Scribble counts your points automatically.
Scribble does not check your words; you are the judge.
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. Scribble will redistribute them.
The player who finishes the game gets his opponent's letter-values twice added on.
The player with the most points wins.
 
Letter values and distribution:
A-1-9 B-3-2 C-3-2 D-2-4 E-1-12 F-4-2 G-2-3 H-4-2 I-1-9 J-8-1 K-5-1 L-1-4 M-3-2 N-1-6 O-1-8 P-3-2 Q-10-1 R-1-6 S-1-4 T-1-6 U-1-4 V-4-2 W-4-2 X-8-1 Y-4-2 Z-10-1 Joker-0-2
 
Note that the board is only 13x13 big. However, the additional directions of writing make it easier to write words.
Use menu option 'switch piece set' to access two types of letters and six alternative board colourings.
