How to Play:
Drag letters from the top rack into the bottom rack (green) to form valid words. Words must begin in the first position of the bottom rack. Click the 'submit word' button to confirm if your word is valid. If it is, the word calculation will appear, giving you a score for that rack.
Just like the classic game of scrabble, make use of the target square bonus points boosters to maximize your score.

Need a Specific Letter?
If the letter you need isn’t available in the swaps page, try swapping it out of the stack where it's located.

Bonus:
Your ultimate goal for each rack is to create a 7-letter word. Doing so will reward you with an additional 50 points!
However, given that the letters for each stack are randomly generated each day, making 7-letter words in every stack may not be doable. Your goal should always be to maximise your score, which may mean sacrificing some racks to get large scores in others.
