The Scrabble Board A standard Scrabble board will consist of cells that are located in a large square grid. Scrabble Tiles There are tiles that are used in the game and 98 of them will contain letters and point values. Tile Values Below are the point values for each letter that is used in a Scrabble game. Extra Point Values When looking at the board, players will see that some squares offer multipliers.
Starting the Game Without looking at any of the tiles in the bag, players will take one tile. The First Word Score When the game begins, the first player will place their word on the star spin in the centre of the board. Play continues in a clockwise direction around the Scrabble board.
Replacing Scrabble Tiles Once tiles are played on the board, players will draw new tiles to replace those. The Fifty Point Bonus Exciting rewards can come when players use all seven tiles to create a word on the board.
The End of a Scrabble Game Once all tiles are gone from the bag and a single player has placed all of their tiles, the game will end and the player with the highest score wins. Tallying Scrabble Scores When the game ends, each player will count all points that are remaining on their tiles that have not been played. The Scrabble player with the highest score after all final scores are tallied wins.
Accepted Scrabble Words Any word that is found in a standard English dictionary can be used in the game of Scrabble. Scrabble board games come in a variety of variations, but the classic version features light red squares that represent double word scores, red squares for triple word scores, light blue squares for double letter scores, and one dark blue square for a triple letter score. There is a double square on the star, which will give you a double word score for the first word.
As each player builds their words from this word, the game moves clockwise around the board, extending to other squares. If you choose to go first, you can control the board by determining whether your move will be horizontal or vertical, by exposing a premium square or by opening or closing the file. There is a value next to each letter tile that indicates how many points it has.
A common letter, such as a vowel, is worth 1 point, while a rare letter, such as a q, ix, or zon, are worth 8 to 10 points. A blank tile is worth nothing.

Initially, the game was dubbed Lexico, later then Criss Cross Words, before being trademarked as Scrabble in Mix up letter tiles in pouch, each player then draws a letter to determine who plays first.
The blank tile beats all other tiles. Put letters back into pouch and mix again. Now, each player draws seven letters each and puts them on their tile rack. Players must maintain seven tiles throughout the game. Scrabble comes with letter tiles to be used in game play, 98 of which have both a letter and a point value.
There are also 2 blank tiles which can be used as wild tiles, these tiles can substituted for any letter. A blank tile in game play remains as the substituted letter for the entirety of the game. Letter tiles each have different point values, the values are dependent upon how common or rare the letter is and the level of difficulty in playing the letter.
Premium Letter Squares: A light blue square doubles the score of a letter placed on it; a dark blue square triples the letter score. Premium Word Squares: The score for an entire word is doubled when one of its letters is placed on a pink square: it is tripled when one of its letters is placed on a red square.
Include premiums for double or triple letter values, if any, before doubling or tripling the word score. If a word is formed that covers two premium word squares, the score is doubled and then re-doubled 4 times the letter count , or tripled and then re-tripled 9 times the letter count.
NOTE: the center square is a pink square, which doubles the score for the first word. Letter and word premiums count only on the turn in which they are played. On later turns, letters already played on premium squares count at face value. When a blank tile is played on a pink or red square, the value of the word is doubled or tripled, even though the blank itself has no score value. When two or more words are formed in the same play, each is scored.
The common letter is counted with full premium value, if any for each word. See Turns 3, 4 and 5 in the Scoring Examples section.
If you play seven tiles on a turn, it's a Bingo. You score a premium of 50 points after totaling your score for the turn. Unplayed Letters: When the game ends, each player's score is reduced by the sum of his or her unplayed letters. In addition, if a player has used all of his or her letters, the sum of the other players' unplayed letters is added to that player's score. The player with the highest final score wins the game. In case of a tie, the player with the highest score before adding or deducting unplayed letters wins.
