In Scrabble, players earn points by constructing words with letter tiles and placing them on a grid. Each letter has a different point value, there are 100 letter tiles, and only one letter tile can fit in a grid space.
Step 1: Draw seven letter tiles
Have each player remove one tile out of the tile bag. The player that gets the letter closest to the letter “A” goes first. Each player then draws seven tiles from the tile bag.
Tip
The first player begins the game by placing a word on the star square at the center of the board, either horizontally or vertically. This star acts as a double-word score.
Step 2: Score each word
Tally each word score by adding point values for each letter in the word. Point values range from 0 points for a blank tile to 10 points for the letters “Q” and “Z.” Use a paper and a pen to keep track of the word scores for each player.
Tip
Some squares on the board allow you to multiply the tile’s value by two or three.
Step 3: Continue play
Continue playing in a counterclockwise direction around the board. During each turn, a player can decide to place a word on the board, exchange tiles, or pass.
Tip
If a player decides to exchange tiles, replace them with an equivalent number from the tile bag. If they choose this option, they cannot do anything else on that turn.
Step 4: Choose new tiles
After placing a word on the board, draw an equal number of new tiles from the tile bag so that each player always has seven tiles.
Step 5: Continue until game ends
Continue playing. All letters played must touch at least one letter that is already on the board to form at least one complete word. When one player has used all of their tiles or no one can make any more words, the game ends.
Tip
If a player uses all seven of their tiles in one turn, they add a 50-point bonus to their word score.
Step 6: Challenge words
Consult a dictionary only if you’re challenging another player’s word. If the word isn’t in the dictionary, the player loses their turn. If the word is allowed, the challenger loses their turn.
Step 7: Calculate the scores
Calculate each player’s final score by adding up the points from all of their word scores. Then, subtract the sum of their unplayed letters. If one player has used up all of their letters, add the sum of everyone else’s unplayed letters to their score. The player with the highest score wins.
Did You Know?
Invented in the 1930s, Scrabble did not achieve widespread popularity until the early 1950s when, according to legend, the president of Macy’s played the game on vacation, and then ordered it for his store.
Board Game Copyright for Sale
I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished] that is guaranteed to be far more challenging and exciting to play than CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”
Over time, Ruvol will surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”
Why am I so sure about this? Because I am an avid chess player myself. I found the moves in chess to be so repetitive and predictable that any clever player could easily master each and every move to a point that they can even play against opponents blindfolded. It is exactly for this very reason that I was encouraged to invent a game that cannot be mastered where every game is always a new challenge and exciting to play.
The “Global Income Potential” of Ruvol is just mind-boggling!
In my Google search, I found there are around 800 million chess players in the world. I could readily assume every chess player in the world would be tempted to buy a set of Ruvol to see how it compares to chess. At an average profit of just five dollars per set, the “Global Income Potential” for the owner is a whopping US$4 billion.
I am selling my copyright to Ruvol!
If you are interested to buy my copyright, kindly give me your BEST OFFER. The copyright goes to the highest bidder.
Or perhaps, you may know of some people who are in a better position to buy the copyright. If that is so, refer them to me and email me their names. If anyone of them gets to buy the copyright, you’ll be rewarded with a 10% commission.
For security reason, the mechanics of the game will only be shown to the qualified or short-listed bidders.
“Early bird catches the worm.”
Thanks and God bless.

There are Scrabble competitions??
I like to play scrabble. I wish there were two J, K, Q, X and Z letters in the English scrabble distribution. This distribution of 100 tiles sucks because those letters are too rare. Two of each letters would be better because players would be able to make words with double letters. For example, the word "pizza", nozzle and other double letter words.

Casually adding up Erins's score and writes 50 instead of 54. Good that it's not math.
This is a very basic board.There are boards with either ready made score papers and another set with a plastic ruler that can indicate numbers.
There is also a maths version invented by a US company called Equate.I have played this version and I have details with me.
