Build crossword-style words on a 15×15 board and outscore the computer. Place tiles from your rack of seven, land on double and triple squares for big points, and use all seven tiles for a 50-point bonus. Every word is checked against a built-in dictionary.

How to use the Word Tile Game vs Computer
Place tiles: drag a tile from your rack to the board, or tap a tile and then a square. You can also click a square and type letters; arrow keys set the direction.
Make the first word through the center star, which is a double word square. After that, every word must connect to tiles already on the board.
Check the preview under the board: it lists every word you form and the points it scores, or tells you what is wrong.
Press Play word. You draw new tiles from the bag and the computer takes its turn.
Swap tiles or pass if your rack is poor. The game ends when the bag is empty and someone uses their last tile, or after six scoreless turns in a row.

Scoring example
Suppose you play QUIZ with the Q on a triple letter square and the Z on a double word square. The letters are worth Q 10 × 3 = 30, U 1, I 1 and Z 10, which is 42; the double word square doubles the total to 84 points. If the U also forms the word UP downward with an existing P, you add U 1 + P 3 = 4 more for 88.
Strategy tips
Learn the two-letter words. Words like QI, ZA, XI, JO and KA let you place high-value tiles in tight spots and score in two directions at once.
Play parallel. Laying a word alongside another creates several short cross words, each of which scores.
Keep a balanced rack. A mix of vowels and consonants, and keeping letters like S, E, R and the blanks, makes 7-letter bonus plays far more likely.
Watch the triple word squares. Avoid opening a lane to a triple word square that the computer can use on its next turn.
Swap early. If your rack is all vowels or holds a Q with no U, swapping costs one turn but can save several.
Frequently asked questions
How is a word scored?
Add up the letter values of the word. A double or triple letter square multiplies the letter placed on it, then double or triple word squares multiply the whole word. Premium squares only count on the turn a tile is placed on them. Every new word formed in a turn, including words made sideways, is scored, and using all seven tiles in one turn adds 50 points.
How many tiles are there and what are they worth?
The bag holds 100 tiles: 98 letters and 2 blanks. Common letters such as E, A, I, O, N, R, T, L, S and U are worth 1 point, D and G 2, B, C, M and P 3, F, H, V, W and Y 4, K 5, J and X 8, and Q and Z 10. Blanks can be any letter but score 0.
Which words are allowed?
Words of 2 to 15 letters from the built-in English dictionary of about 100,000 words, including plurals and verb forms. Abbreviations, proper nouns and offensive words are not allowed. Two-letter words come from a list of standard word-game two-letter words such as AA, QI, XI and ZA. Use Check a word to look one up.
How good is the computer?
The computer looks at every legal move for its rack. On Hard it always plays the highest-scoring one, which makes it a strong opponent. Medium chooses among good moves that score at least 60% of its best, and Easy prefers short, lower-scoring words.
When does the game end?
The game ends when the bag is empty and one player has used all their tiles, or after six scoreless turns in a row (passes and swaps). The player who goes out adds the value of the opponent's remaining tiles to their score, and the opponent loses the same amount.
Is this the same as Scrabble?
Scrabble is a trademark of Hasbro and Mattel. This is an independent free word tile game that uses the same well-known style of play: a 15 by 15 board, premium squares, a bag of letter tiles and a seven-tile rack.
