How to play

Tap a tile then a square to spell an English word reading across or down, crossing the tiles already on the board. Your first word must cover the centre star, and every run of letters must be a valid English word. Premium squares boost the score (DL/TL double or triple a letter, DW/TW the whole word); use all seven tiles at once for a 50-point bonus. Swap exchanges tiles; Pass skips your turn. Arrow keys or a gamepad move the cursor; Enter places.
