In each game you are given 64 tiles. Each tile is a letter and you have write words using them. When you have found a word, the tiles disappear and leave room for more.

The letters come one by one in a row. A timer is started when a new letter appears. When the time is up, you are given a new letter. Once the row reaches 9 letters, each new one will replace the oldest one. It means you have limited time to come up with a word.

How scores work

Words
Each letter is worth a certain number of points. That number is written below the letter. The value of the word is the sum of the points of each letter times the multiplier. A multiplier is applied to long words. A word of length 4 is multiplied by 2 (length 5 = x3, length 6 = x4, length 7 = x5, length 8 = x6, length 8 = x7).

For example, the word CARS is (2 + 1 + 1 + 1) * 2 = 10 points

Chains
You can get extra points if you come up with words of 5 or more letters in a row. The bonus you get is the size of the word times the numbers of words in the chain minus 1.

For example, your first word is MONTH (5 letters) and then you enter HOUSES (6 letters), you'll get a 6 * 1 points bonus. If your third word is HOMES (5 letters), you'll get a bonus of 5 * 2 = 10 points

Other bonuses
If you finish a game with an empty row, you get a 10 points bonus.
