Scrabble is a popular word board game in which 2-4 players score points by forming words from individual lettered tiles on a 15×15 game board. The words are formed across and down in crossword fashion, and must appear in a standard dictionary. Official reference works (e. g. [ World Traveller for Windows Mobile ]Softwarecellulariit. The Official Scrabble Player's Dictionary, now in its 4th edition) which provide a list of permissible words, some of which are rarely found in standard English writing, are also available.

Each letter is worth a set number of points, with the value depending on the letter's frequency in standard English writing; commonly-used letters such as E or O are worth one point, while less common letters score higher, with Q and Z each scoring ten points. The board is marked with "premium" squares, which multiply the amount of points awarded. Some premium squares multiply the value of an individual letter, while some multiply the value of entire words. Invia articolo ad un amico Nome: Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary for WS.
