Word Game in the Philippines is trendy in the year 1980’s and 1990s. These games created so many types that anybody can manipulate and play with the game. Word games served as entertainment among young people and children at the same time. It also served for educational purposes, among others. This game provided many opportunities that improved spelling skills and additional information about the words that pop up while the game is being played. Word game during the modern time has a lot of variations. The other will make their style and mechanics of the games. Research has proven that mostly the older you are, the more you can spell well because of the more in-depth information and experiences you've had. If you were born in 2000 and up, you belong to Generation Z. Generation Z is more competitive in nature people, they got bored quickly. According to Jenkins, Ryan (2017), Generation Z did not witness these innovations but, instead, were born into it. So teachers should be creative in providing word games that are also competitive. Scrabble was conceived during the Great Depression by an unemployed New York architect named Alfred Mosher Butts, who figured Americans could use a bit of distraction during the bleak economic times. After determining what he believed were the most enduring games in history — board games, numbers games like dice or cards, and letter games like crossword puzzles — he combined all three. He then chose the frequency and the distribution of the tiles by counting letters on the pages of the New York Times, the New York Herald Tribune, and The Saturday Evening Post. He tweaked and tinkered with the rules while trying — and continually failing for more than a decade. The Patent Office rejected his application not once but twice, and on top of that, he couldn't settle on a name. At first, he called his creation "it" before switching to "Lexiko," then "Criss-Cross Words. Scrabble has been translated into 22 languages, from Arabic to Afrikaans. How to Play Scrabble 1. Draw seven letter tiles have each player remove one tile out of the tile bag. The player that gets the letter closest to the letter "A" goes first. 2. Score each word Tally each word score by adding point values for each letter in the word.

Choose new tiles After placing a word on the board, draw an equal number of new tiles from the tile bag so that each player always has seven.

Scrabble Rules - Scrabble Official Rules When playing Scrabble, anywhere from two to four players will enjoy the game. The object when playing is to score more points than other players. As words are placed on the game board, points are collected, and each letter used in the game will have a different point value. The primary strategy is to play words with the highest possible score based on the combination of notes. The Scrabble Board A standard Scrabble board will consist of cells that are located in a large square grid. The board offers 15 sections high and 15 cells wide. The tiles used on the game will fit in each cell on the board. Scrabble Tiles One hundred tiles are used in the game, and 98 of them will contain letters and point values. 2 blank tiles can be used as wild tiles to take the place of any message. When a blank is played, it will remain in the game as the letter is substituted. Different letters in the game will have various point values, and this will depend on how rare the letter is and how difficult it may be to lay that letter. Blank tiles will have no point values. Tile Values Below are the point values for each letter that is used in a Scrabble game. 0 Points - Blank tile. 1 Point - A, E, I, L, N, O, R, S, T, and U. 2 Points - D and G. 3 Points - B, C, M, and P. 4 Points - F, H, V, W, and Y. 5 Points - K. 8 Points - J and X.

10 Points - Q and Z. Extra Point Values When looking at the board, players will see that some squares offer multipliers. Should a tile be placed on these squares, the tile's value will be multiplied by 2x or 3x. Some squares will also multiply the word's total value and not just the single point value of one tile. Double Letter Scores - The light blue cells in the board are isolated, and when these are used, they will double the value of the tile placed on that square. Triple Letter Score - The dark blue cell in the board will be worth triple the amount, so any tile placed here will earn more points. Double Word Score - When a cell is a light red, it is a double word cell, and these run diagonally on the board, towards the four corners. When a word is placed on these squares, the entire value of the word will be doubled. Triple Word Score - The dark red square is where the high points can be earned as this will triple the word score. Placing any comment on these squares will boos points drastically. These are found on all four sides of the board and are equidistant from the corners. One Single Use - When using the extra point squares on the board, they can only be used one time. If a player places a word here, it cannot be used as a multiplier by placing another name in the same square.

Starting the Game Without looking at any of the tiles in the bag, players will take one tile. The player that has the letter that is closest to "A" will begin the game. A blank tile will win the start of the game. The tiles are then replaced in the bag and used in the remainder of the game. Every player will start their turn by drawing seven tiles from the Scrabble bag. There are three options during any turn. The player can place a word, exchange tiles for new tiles, or choose to pass. In most cases, players will try to establish a term as the other two options will not score. When players choose to exchange tiles, they can choose to exchange one or all of the tiles they currently hold. After tiles are swapped, the turn is over, and players will have to wait until their next turn to place a word on the board.

Players can choose to pass at any time. They will forfeit that turn and hope to be able to play the next time. If any player passes two times in a row, the game will end, and the one with the highest score will win. The First Word Score When the game begins, the first player will place their word on the star spin in the board's center. The star is a double square and will offer a double word score. All players following will build their words off of this word, extending the game to other squares on the board. Play continues in a clockwise direction around the Scrabble board. Replacing Scrabble Tiles Once tiles are played on the board, players will draw new tiles to replace those. Players will always have seven tiles during the game. Drawing tiles is always done without looking into the bag so that the letters are always unknown. The Fifty Point Bonus Exciting rewards can come when players use all seven tiles to create a word on the board. When this happens, players will receive a 50 point bonus, in addition to the value of the name. If the game is near the end and players do not hold seven tiles, they do not get the bonus for using all of their tiles. This is only collected for seven-letter words placed. The End of a Scrabble Game Once all tiles are gone from the bag, and a single-player has placed all of their tiles, the game will end, and the player with the highest score wins. Tallying Scrabble Scores When the game ends, each player will count all remaining points on their tiles that have not been played. This amount will be deducted from the final score. A bonus is awarded to the player that ended the game and has no remaining tiles. All remaining players' tile values will be added to the player's score out of tiles to produce the final score. The Scrabble player with the highest score after all final scores are tallied wins.

Accepted Scrabble Words Any word that is found in a Standard English dictionary can be used in the game of Scrabble. There are also Official Scrabble Dictionaries that can be purchased for more word options. Some words are not allowed to be played, and these include suffixes, prefixes, and abbreviations. Any representation that requires the use of a hyphen or apostrophe cannot be played in the game. Any term that required the use of a capital letter is not allowed. When playing an English version of the game, foreign words cannot be placed on the board. However, if the foreign word does appear in a Standard English dictionary, it is allowed. This is because the name is spoken enough and is considered part of the English language.
