What particular rules of the

game will enhance your
knowledge/skills about the
game scrabble?

Scrabble

1. BINGO - Any word played that uses all seven letters on the rack, earning a bonus of
50points.

2. BLOCKING - The act of playing a word on the board that stops the opponent from
making a potentially large score. It also refers to the act of playing words that make it
harder for either player to score many points.

3. CHALLENGE - An opponent calls a "CHALLENGE" when s/he thinks a play is not

acceptable (i.e. not in the OWL or Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh
Edition). A Word Judge is called to verify which words are acceptable or not.
Whenever there is a challenge, someone loses one turn.

4. COUNT TILES - players often count tiles at two different times:

1) before a game begins to ensure that there are 100 tiles;
2) near the end of the game, when knowing exactly how many tiles remain to be
played can be crucial for the astute player.

5. DOUBLE-DOUBLE - When a player makes a play with letters that cover two
Double-Word Squares. The bonus for covering two DWSs one play: quadruple the
sum of the value of the letters of the "Double-Double" word. The sum should include
that extra values earned form any DLS covered that turn only.

Cuenca Institute - Junior High School 7 PHYSICAL EDUCATION 8

6. END GAME - The portion of a SCRABBLE game when there are less than seven tiles
left to draw from the bag.

7. HOOK LETTER (A.K.A. HOOK) - A letter that will spell a new word when it is
played with in the front of or at the end of a word already on the board. Example:
With HARD on the board, the letter Y is a hook letter since HARDY is acceptable.
Likewise, the letter C can be "hooked: since CHARD is acceptable.

8. PASSING - A player may pass his/her turn by not exchanging tiles and not making a
play on the board. The player scores zero and says "Pass!" and starts opponent's
timer. It is now opponent's turn. Note that when there are 6 consecutive scores of zero
in a game, the game is finished.

9. SCRABBLE- is a word game in which two to four players score points by forming
words from individual lettered tiles on a gameboard marked with a 15-by-15 grid.

10. TILES - Game equipment consisting of a flat thin piece marked with characters and
used in board games like Mah-Jong, Scrabble, etc

Rules in Playing Scrabble

 All tiles should be placed in a letter pouch or placed face down on the table beside
the board.

 Ensure that letters are well mixed, and that players do not know which letter is in a
particular spot.

 To determine who goes first, each player draws a letter – the player with the letter
closest to “A” goes first. The ‘blank’ tile automatically goes first.

 Ensure you thoroughly remix the tiles before drawing letters. Each player draws 7
letters and places them on his or her letter rack.

 There are three main steps to a turn:

1) Play a Word
2) Total the Score for that Word
3) Draw Tiles to Replace the Tiles Played

Cuenca Institute - Junior High School 8 PHYSICAL EDUCATION 8

 The first player must play his or her first word on the center square of the board, the
spot that has a ‘star’ on it.

 All words must be two or more letters long. Words are played either vertically or
horizontally. Diagonal word play is not permitted.

 Play always moves clockwise (to the left). Each player must playoff of words already
present on the board. This may involve changing existing words (for example,
making the word ‘play’ into ‘player’) or by incorporating a letter into the word you
are playing.

 You can place letters in both directions on a single turn. The letters placed must form
complete words. Anytime two or more letters touch, they must form valid, legal
words. For example, if you add an ‘s’ to an existing word to make it plural and then
build a separate word from that ‘s’ in the opposite direction, you will get full credit
for both words. No tile can be moved or shifted once it is played (baring a successful
challenge).

 Whenever a word is played, other players may challenge the word if they do not
believe it is a real word or it is spelled wrong. According to Scrabble rules, players
should agree before the game begins on the dictionary that they will use.

 If you want to challenge an opponent’s word, you must challenge it before the play
moves on to the next player. If the challenged word is not legal, the tiles must be
returned to the player’s hand and that player loses the turn. If a word is challenged
and it is legal, the challenger loses his or her next turn. If multiple words are made in
a turn, all words are challenged when one word is challenged. If any of the words are
not legal, all tiles will be returned to their owner’s hand and that player loses his or
her turn.

 The dictionary should only be consulted if a word is actually challenged and should
never be used before a word is played for verification purposes.

Score Keeping
One player should be elected as the score keeper. The scorekeeper should
double check the tally for each word. Each letter tile has the value of that letter. Unless
the tile is on a Premium Letter Square, these should be counted at face value and
totaled for the word.

Cuenca Institute - Junior High School 9 PHYSICAL EDUCATION 8

Winning the Game
When one player plays his or her last tile, and no more tiles are available to
draw, the game is over per scrabble rules. Any remaining tiles should be subtracted
from that player’s score. The player with the highest score wins the game. You may opt to
allow each player one turn to attempt to play as many of his or her remaining tiles as
possible.

Scrabble helps build language skills, and

your skills will develop more if you are directly
engage with your family. Scrabble is a social
game and it can top the list of family fun
activities. It is a form of recreational activity that
allows you and your family to relax, forget any
pressing concerns and improve mental
capabilities. To sum up everything, it is a way of
enhancing family bonding/camaraderie.
