Rules of Play
OBJECT
To list as many words of the highest point value as you can find among the random assortment of letters in the cube grid.
PLAYING
Search the puzzle board for words of four letters or more. When you find a word, add it to your list using the form below the puzzle.
Words are formed from adjoining letters. Letters must join in the proper sequence to spell a word. They may join horizontaly,
vertically or diagonally to the left, right, up or down. No letter cube, however may be used more than once within a single word.
TYPES OF WORDS ALLOWED
The only words that are allowed are those that can be found in the Enable dictionary. You may look for any type of
word - noun, verb, adjective, adverb, etc. Plural nouns are acceptable, as are all verb tenses.
Words within words are also allowed. (e.g. revolt and volt)
TYPES OF WORDS NOT ALLOWED
Proper nouns, abbreviations, contractions, hyphenated words and foreign words that are not in the Enable Dictionary.
SCORING AND WINNING
Every night at midnight CT, the day's puzzle closes. The high score list for the day will then appear showing everyone's total score.
SCORING
Each tile has a point value. To determine the score for a word, the point-value for the length of the word is multiplied by the total letter values for the word:
4-letter word = 1 x Points
5-letter word = 2 x Points
6-letter word = 3 x Points
7-letter word = 4 x Points
8-letter word = 5 x Points
9-letter word = 6 x Points
Example:
Word: BABBLE
Points: 3 x (3+1+3+3+1+1)
Total: 36 pts.
The winner is the player who has the highest point total when the puzzle closes.
THINGS TO REMEMBER
* The same word found in two different areas of the puzzle may not be used.
* The "Qu" cube counts as two letters.
* Points are awarded for both the singular and plural forms of a noun
