[. . . ] Draw the same number of letters from the pool, then mix your discarded letter(s) into the pool. When two or more words are formed in the same play, each is scored. The common letter is counted (with full premium value, if any) for each word. If you play seven tiles on a turn, it's a Bingo. [. . . ] Return the letters to the pool and remix. All players draw seven new letters each and place them in their racks. 9. Ending the Game: The game ends when all letters have been drawn and one player uses his or her last letter, or when all possible plays have been made. Any play may be challenged before the next player starts a turn. If the play challenged is unacceptable, the challenged player takes back his or her tiles and loses that turn. If the play challenged is acceptable, the challenger loses his or her next turn. All words (not just one) made in one play are challenged simultaneously. If any word is unacceptable, the entire play is unacceptable. Consult the dictionary for challenges only. RULES FOR SHORTER GAMEPLAY 9-Tile SCRABBLE Game New SCRABBLE game players should find these versions faster and more inviting than the standard version. This variant is identical to the original game except players have 9 tiles on their racks instead of the usual 7. You score a 50-point Bingo bonus for using 7, 8, or all 9 tiles on your rack. GAMEPLAY 1. The first player combines two or more of his or her letters to form a word, and places the word on the board to read either across or down with one letter on the center square. TWO- AND THREE-LETTER WORDS Learn the 2-letter and 3-letter words. They are the building blocks of expert play and can boost your average score by as much as 50 points per game. Pluralize one word while forming another at the same time. Don't add it unless you can earn at least 8 points by doing so. Shuffle the tiles on your rack frequently. Look for some common ways that letters go together. Some of these are BR, CH, CL, DLE, ED, ENT, EST, FUL, GHT, ING, NK, KLE, MIS, ISM, IUM, MB, MP, ND, NT, PR, PL, RE, STR, TH, UN, IVE and OUS. As you form these combinations, it may surprise you how words will often appear on your rack when you least expect them. 6. BINGO'S Always look for Bingo's (using all 7 tiles at once). Optimism and know-how will mean more 50-point bonuses. Learn common word beginnings and endings and know how to place them on your rack. HO R N F A HO RN M F A HOR N M PA S TE F A HOR M PAS 2. [. . . ] Make your play with an eye toward your next play. You can do so simply by saving some good tiles on your rack. Your best chance of having a great next rack is to save some combination of the letters "AEILNRST" (hint: think "starline"), ideally saving either the same number of vowels and consonants, or just one extra consonant. After you find a good play, if you have time, look for a better one. Always try to give yourself a choice of plays. [. . . ]
