Goal
Score more points than the AI by building valid words and stacking new letters on top of existing letters.
Basic Rules
- Place tiles from your rack onto the board.
- Tiles must form one straight horizontal or vertical word.
- You may place on empty squares or stack on existing letters.
- Every submitted word must be in the dictionary.
- Stacks can grow up to 5 letters high.
Stacking
- When you stack a tile, the top letter becomes the active letter for the word.
- Higher stacks score more points.
- You cannot stack the same letter on itself.
- You cannot stack higher than the max stack height.
Scoring
- Each letter scores its tile value.
- Stacked letters add a height bonus.
- Longer words usually score more.
- Strategic stacks can beat longer flat words.
Beginner Strategy
- Start with short common words.
- Use stacks to change old words into new words.
- Keep vowels available.
- Do not waste high-value letters unless they create a valid word.
