Overview

The play consists of forming interlocking words, crossword fashion on a board, using letter tiles. In each of five rounds players compete for high score by forming words on a crossword puzzle pattern on individual game boards, taking advantage of letter usage points and bonus words. In rounds after the first, the board is passed to other players, so that each one is building on the partial crosswords of another player's previous rounds.
