In the game, you can play with 1-3 Robot players, also you can play with your friends using network. The first player creates a host game, the others scan the QR Code in the first players device to join the game.
The game is a word game in which two to four players score points by placing tiles, each bearing a single letter, onto a gameboard which is divided into a 15×15 grid of squares. The tiles must form words which, in crossword fashion, flow left to right in rows or downwards in columns. The words must be defined in the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary.

[Game Rules]

At the beginning of the game, and after each turn until the bag is empty (or until there are no more face-down tiles), players draw tiles to fill their "racks", or tile holders, with seven tiles, from which they will make plays. Each rack is concealed from the other players.
During a turn, a player will have seven tiles on his or her rack (with the exception of the endgame). On each turn, the player has three options:

* Pass, forfeiting the turn and scoring nothing
* Exchange one or more tiles for an equal number from the bag, scoring nothing, an option available only if at least seven tiles remain in the bag
* Play at least one tile on the board, adding the value of all words formed to the players cumulative score

A proper play uses one or more of the players tiles to form a contiguous string of letters that make a word (the plays "main word") on the board, reading either left-to-right or top-to-bottom. The main word must either use the letters of one or more previously played words or else have at least one of its tiles horizontally or vertically adjacent to an already played word. If any words other than the main word are formed by the play, they are scored as well, and are subject to the same criteria of acceptability.

[Acceptable words]
There are two popular competition word lists used in various parts of the world: TWL and SOWPODS (also referred to as "Collins"). The memorization of two-letter words is considered an essential skill in this game.
The game uses the SOWPODS word list, including all words of length 2 to 15 letters, and is a complete reference. This list contains all OWL2 words plus words sourced from Chambers and Collins English dictionaries. It includes 267,000+ words.
