HOW TO PLAY
1

Choose or reveal a starting word, or provide a scrambled set of letters to each player.

2

Set a time limit for players to rearrange the letters into as many valid words as they can find.

3

Each player writes down every new word they form using only the available letters, without repeating letters more times than they appear.

4

When time is called, players read out their word lists while others cross out any duplicates found by more than one player.

5

Longer words or ones no other player found earn more points than short or duplicated words.

6

Points are tallied across rounds, and the player with the highest total is declared the winner.
