To begin each game, both players are given seven tiles from the tile bag. The site will determine which player goes first.

If you’re going first, place a word on the board with at least one letter of that word touching the center star. You may play either across or down, as long as you touch the center star. Diagonal words are not permitted. Your word must be at least two letters in length.

Click “Submit” or hit Enter on the keyboard to submit your word and end your turn.

Once you play your word, you will be given new tiles from the tile bag to replace the ones you’ve used. Until the very end of the game, when there aren’t enough tiles left, you’ll always be given seven tiles to use.

Your opponent will then get a turn to make a move of their own. The game will proceed with player alternating turns until the end of the game.

All letters played on each individual turn must be placed in only one row or column.

You may play your letters alongside other letters on the board. In fact, it’s encouraged! But when you do this, ALL of the words formed by your play must be valid Scrabble words.
