Scrabble is based on the classic board game about creating words with letter tiles. This computer version allows for up to four players to compete against each other. One user can also compete against computer opponents that be set on one of eight skill levels.
Players select seven letter tiles with which to work with. Scrabble begins when the first player places a word on the playing board. When the next word is placed on the board it must be linked to the first word. All following turns take place by connecting words to letters that are already on the board. A dictionary of over 20,000 words is included in the program. If any of your words is not known by the computer then the computer will challenge your word. Players have the option of accepting or rejecting a challenge.
The objective is to have the highest score when all of the letter tiles are used up. Each letter has its own point value. After their turns players add up the points of each letter used in their word. Some spaces on the board raise the point values of individual tiles or complete words. If all seven letter tiles are used by a player on one turn they receive a 50-point bonus.
