2. Encourage your family members or relatives to play

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
• 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.

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.
