		Scoring is also affected by the positions on the board where the letters are played.
		The objective in a puzzle is to find a word that uses some of your letters and one of the letters already played to form the highest scoring word, including bonuses for double-letter, triple-letter, double-word and triple-word positions, and the 50 point bonus for using all seven letters.

		Letters should be big and fill the whole piece of paper and most importantly, each paper needs to have the same value written on it as a scrabble tile.

		Each team is scored based on their letter values and the rules on the slip of paper drawn by the host.

		For example, a tile placed on a square marked ``double letter score'' is scored at twice the value marked on the square.
		Different letters have different values; the rarer the letter, the higher its value since it is harder to find a place for it.
		Second, if the frequency of letters is very different from in English, the number of tiles with a certain letter and the value given to that letter will not be appropriate.

		Double and triple letter squares increase the value of a tile by double and triple, respectively.
		Typing the letter of a tile in your rack moves it to the end of your rack.

	Scrabbage (version 1.0)
		The scrab is scored all at once, as a single, simultaneous move, after all of its tiles are played (or as many as possible).
		A tile played on a double or triple WORD square will double or triple the two points which would ordinarily be scored for a word, to four or six points, but only if the tile completes the word as it is played on the square.
		Score is kept on a standard cribbage pegboard, and as soon as one player reaches the end (121 points), that player is the winner.

	Insane SCRABBLE® Variation (Replace the tile(s) and more...) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Once words are on the board, letters from the board can be exchanged with tray letters as long as a word is placed on the board at the time of the exchange AND as long as the new word(s) is(are) also a word(s).
		Also, when we are putting small words down that may be blocking possible double double word scores and the other person is working madly to try to fill that space, we defer to the person who will receive the higher score.
		The incentive to finish first is enhanced by not only subtracting the value of the leftover tiles from the score of the person who still has tiles left, but adding the same value to the score of the person who finished first.

		The goal of the game is to create as many anagrams as possible from a set of letters, and achieving as many points as possible when doing this.
		The number of points is the total value of the letters in the words (the value of each letter is printed on it's tile), except for when you have a special tiles in the word.
		The value of this tile is just the value of the letter occupying it, and it does nothing special to the value of a word it is included in.

	The Harvard Crimson :: Sports :: Creative Triple Word Scoring
		With a double letter score on the “C” and a double word score from the middle, he picks up 26 quick points.
		But it’s a no-look pass, a bit of misdirection; he adds three more letters to the beginning and spells out “Swedish” on the double word score, for a cool 28.
		The puzzlement on my face must be evident—and it is not just the snobbery of a Harvard kid getting seven-letter schooled by an Arizona barely-grad—because he quickly explains that he was born in Stockholm, and is, in fact, Swedish.

		The first player is rewarded for making a five-letter word, since the value of the first or last letter is doubled; but five-letter words are pretty difficult to find when you have just seven letters on your rack.
		The first player also benefits from a free double-word score, the star; but laying a tile on the star means the second player can reach a triple-word score, which is seven squares away.
		Butts wanted scoring to increase as the game progressed away from the center, with the most lucrative plays on the fringes.

		You must also bare in mind that to be a valid Scrabble game, the words must be connected to the central (starting) square of the board in such a way that the point can be reached by legal play.
		Try to leave all the premium scoring (coloured) squares uncovered so that you can benefit from them in the final move.

		I presume a corner triple word score was left hanging with a word to hook the "s" to, while running the other way was a single letter at the side of the board allowing the eight-letter play to cover two triple word scores.
		There are many helpful suggestions that can improve your score with study, like word lists to memorize over time, and exercises to improve your abiity to see words from the letters in your rack.
		And your opponent may suspect that an E is not a good letter to play, but there are still good odds that you will see a word with an E in it.

		You can double your opportuinities by allowing the tiles of your words to be placed either forwards or backwards on the board.
		I assume if you make a play that can be read either direction, you score double.
		[phundug], with respect to scoring double for certain words (NOT palindromes like "nun", but instead words like "tip"), that sounds OK. Next, heh, as it happens, a diagonal-only game can only use about half the squares on the board.

	Doug's three-minute scrabble tip
		When you get the letter X, if you don't see a nice word like EXPLAIN or SEXPOTS you can still use it to make a surprisingly high-scoring play.
		Look for bonus squares (double or triple word or letter scores) next to vowels.
		You will draw the letter X in half of your games, and you will be able to make this play more often than not!
