As with all our games, we are open to any changes publishers wish for.

The game

The point of the game is to make as many valid words as possible from a given set of letters. Before the game starts, the players agree on a thesaurus. Any thesaurus can be used both digital or analog. We recommend digital ones where it's possible to search for words. An example is Wikipedia.


The words must form a connected string of letters, and each word must be at least three letters long. If a word is found to be invalid, it cannot be used.


The use of slang and abbreviations is encouraged. If you find it in your thesaurus, you can use it!


Each player begins their turn by drawing a number of tiles from the bag (between 1-8 tiles). They then have a limited amount of time to make words with these tiles. All players should try to form the longest word possible. 

Challenging a word

A player can challenge a word if they believe the word is incorrect or has been made incorrectly. If the word is found to be invalid, the player who made the word must take it back and cannot use it in the game.


Explanations of the game board

One-letter tile: The letter must be part of the word you create. 


Two-letter tiles: Both must be part of the word you create. The letters do not necessarily have to be consecutive in the word, but both letters must be included.


-1: When counting letters, one tile counts as one letter less.


+1: When counting letters, one tile counts as one letter more. 


Min/Max (number): The word must contain at least or at most the number of vowels/consonants indicated by the game.
