Words are created by tapping the letters on the table. To remove a letter from your word tap the letter again. To complete a word click on the ENTER button. If the word is invalid or incomplete,no score will be given and all letters will return to the table. If the word is valid (found in the dictionary),scores will be added to the relevant categories and the word will be displayed in the list.
At the end of each round the player will need to select which category to be scored on. Each category can only be scored once,so choose carefully. Once a score has been selected,tap on the NEW ROUND button to begin new round.
To score in each category words must meet certain criteria.
3- words with 3 letters are worth 5 points.
4- words with 4 letters are worth 10 points.
5- words with 5 letters are worth 20 points.
6+ words with 6 or more letters are worth 50 points.
20+ to score in this category you must spell 20 or more words in a single round.
Slam - to score a slam the player must use every letter at least once in a single round.
