28-Tile ScrabbleLanguage brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.
28-Tile Scrabble is a modified Scrabble. No board is used and a player is given immediately 28 Scrabble tiles (hence, the name of the game).
The rules are: 1. The tiles are 26 letters of the alphabet (one tile per letter) and 2 blank tiles (which may be used as any letter in the alphabet). 2. A player forms any number of words from his available tiles only. 3. Each tile can be used only once. 4. Words cannot share any tile. POINT SYSTEM a.) Credits: A player starts with 1000 points for playing. b.) Deductions: Points are deducted from the player's credit as follows: - 150 pts. for any unused Z,Q,X,J,V, or K - 100 pts, for any other unused consonant or vowel - 75 pts. for any word with three letters or less. - 50 pts. for any word in excess of five WORDS (not letters) - 5,4,3,2,1 pts for using a blank tile as A,E,I,O,U respectively. The highest score so far is less than 950 points. CHALLENGE: What is your best score?
