It's as easy as A, B, C!

1. Create a Game!

Search for a random opponent, connect to Facebook, or ask a friend for their username!

2. Take Your Turn

Create a word on the board by placing tiles vertically or horizontally. First word in the game goes on the plus tile.

Additional words must connect to previously played words.

If you don't like your tiles, you can use a turn to exchange them.

When you've got a word ready, tap play and we'll send it to your friend.

	While you’re waiting for your friend to play, you can send them a message.
	Or start a game with another friend.

We’ll tell you when it’s your turn by moving the game to the "Your Move" section.

We'll also send you a Push notification.

3. Scoring Points & Winning

You win the game by scoring more points than your friend!

You get points for each word you create based on the value of the tiles used in the word.

You get 35 extra points if you play all 7 tiles in one move!

Play words on the colored squares on the board to get bonus points.

	Double the value of the tile
	Triple the value of the tile
	Double the value of the word
	Triple the value of the word

Try combining more than one bonus to get a lot of points.

4. Final Tips

Tiles can be placed so that multiple new words are formed simultaneously using neighboring letters. You’ll score points for each new word created during a turn!

These words aren’t accepted in the game:
  1.  Proper nouns (words always capitalized)
  2.  Abbreviations
  3.  Prefixes and suffixes standing alone
  4.  Words requiring a hyphen or an apostrophe
  5.  Derogatory words and racial slurs

To delete a finished game from the menu, tap edit and then delete each game.

You can end a game early by tapping "Resign".

If it’s not your turn and your friend stops playing, the game will be resigned automatically after a reasonable amount of time.
