Scrabble

Scrabble is a popular word board game, in which two to four players score points by forming words from individual lettered tiles on a 15x15 game board. The words are formed across and down in a crossword fashion, and must appear in a standard dictionary, although there are official reference works which list all permissible words, some of which are rarely found in standard English writing.

Each letter is worth a certain amount of points, with the value depending on the letter's frequency in standard English writing; commonly-used letters such as E or O are worth one point, whilst less common letters such as X, Q and Z can be worth up to ten points. The board is marked with "premium" squares, which multiply the amount of points awarded. Some premium squares multiply the value of an individual letter, whilst some multiply the value of entire words.
