Letter Swap Stage

Players are given two types of Letter Swaps to use to switch letters on the board.

Swap ANY - Players may swap any two letters.

Swap ADJACENT - Players may swap any two adjacent letters.

Player may use ANY, ALL, or NONE of their swaps. The amount of swaps varies by round.
Round 1: (3) Swap Any & (3) Swap Adjacent. (1) Random Letter is worth 2x normal value.
Round 2: (4) Swap Any & (4) Swap Adjacent. (1) Random Letter is worth 3x normal value.
Round 3: (5) Swap Any & (5) Swap Adjacent. (1) Random Letter is worth 2x normal value & (1) Random Letter is worth 3x normal value.




Word Submit Stage

Players are given 90 seconds to find and submit words to score.

Spell out words by touching letters on the board and then use the SUBMIT button to score the word.

To CLEAR a partially or misspelled word, dont submit it! Simply TOUCH a letter already used & lit up to clear the entire word.

Words can be spelled forward, backwards, up, down, or diagonally, but must stay in one direction. Letters must be on consecutive squares in that direction.

A word may only be scored once PER GAME, whether it appears more than once or is a palindrome(noon, radar, etc).

Players may submit as many words as they find in the time allowed.

Submitting an ILLEGAL WORD scores negative 25 points and immediately ENDS TURN.

A Unique Word Scoring Formula that is simple yet play balanced.
