Good afternoon steemain I will like to talk about the game called SCRABBLE.
Scrabble is a game of two to four people Alfred Mosher Butts was the man who invented scrabble in the year 1938.
FEATURES OF SCRABBLE : scrabble has tiles which consists of various alphabet the total letters of the tiles are 100 including the two blank tiles .
HOW TO START: The players most be at least two you pick a tiles from the tiles bag without looking inside the bag before picking it while the other person will repeat the same thing by doing this it will determine the first person to play the Lower the alphabet you choose the first to play that is if u choose blank tiles and the other choose B tiles this mean the person with blank tiles will be the first player, after this picking of a tiles the both of you will return the tiles inside the tiles bag then the first player will pick seven (7) tiles without looking inside the tiles bag and you will put it on your tiles rag in front of you while the other person will do as same .
Now that you know the first player the will start from the central of the board where there is star sign buy spelling a word from the dictionary. "But the best dictionary to play scrabble is scrabbe dictionary. Any word you play if found there that is correct no need for arguments. If possible you use all the seven tiles you picked to spell a word this is called premium in scrabble which results to additional 50points to the normal point you have with the word you spell with the seven tiles.
MISSING OF TURN: In scrabble you can miss your turn probably you don't have a letter the spell a right word for you this is what to do you pick a tiles out from the one in your tiles rag then put it inside the tiles bag and 're-pick a new single tiles or you may change all the seven tiles on your rag but know by doing so you a are losing your turn.
HOW TO CALCULATE SCORES : Include premiums for double or triple letter values, if any, before doubling or tripling the word score. If a word is formed that covers two premium word squares, the score is doubled and then re-doubled (4 times the letter count), or tripled and then re-tripled (9 times the letter count) all the double word letters triple word and letters are show on the board.
HOW. TO END SCRABBLE GAME: There are two ways to end scrabble (1) incase you have ties on your tiles rag and the other person also have you will add the total number of your own ties to your score while the other will do same. (2) in some cases if your own tiles is finished and the other person have you will minus the number of the person tiles from is ties and add it to your own.
CLUE OF SCRABLE : learning of two letters words are so important on scrabble this are what some people dnt understand or focus on they only believe in big grammars of which scrabble is not about grammar examples of two letters words ON IQ SO IN UN TO ETC also three letters word these short word are of higher point and they are of value
