Description

HOW TO PLAY

OBJECT:
Add letters and create words horizontally, vertically, diagonally, forwards or backwards.

SET UP:
Every player rolls the dice. Highest roll goes first.

ON YOUR TURN:
Roll both dice and start the timer. Add letters in the lowest blank squares of the columns that correspond with the numbers rolled.
For example, if you roll a 2 and 5, add a letter in the lowest blank square on columns 2 and 5.
 
If a column is filled, the player does not get to write a letter for that die. When time runs out, the player’s turn ends. They may not write any letters after the time runs out.
 
The player writes down their score and passes the dice to the next player.
 
SCORING:
Players score 1 point for each letter in every word (at least 3 letters long) connected to the letters they added on their turn. The words can be horizontal, vertical, diagonal, frontwards or backwards.

Words cannot be proper nouns and must be found in a dictionary. Any player may challenge a word and look it up. The incorrect player loses a turn.

END OF THE GAME:
When all the squares are filled, the game ends.  Player with the highest score wins.
