You turn the tiles upside down, but you take turns drawing until all the tiles are divided evenly. In some cases, that means a tile or two is leftover, and is not used. Someone says "go", and you flip all your tiles over (I got really good at stacking all my tiles in two stacks and flipping them at once) and start making your own crossword puzzles. The first person to use all their tiles yells "stop!" and everyone has to stop immediately. You get bonus points for being the first one done, and bonus points for various length words over 5 letters. If you weren't the first one done, the points of the letters you didn't use count against you. We would play for hours on end...and I was undefeated. My boss used to say that just hearing me moving the tiles around as fast as I did made him so nervous he couldn't concentrate on making words. :) It was a blast! I should have patented the idea...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02649567424535224622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18500594.post-74152090154770869332007-11-30T11:38:00.000-04:002007-11-30T11:38:00.000-04:00I'm going out to get a new scrabble set now, becau...I'm going out to get a new scrabble set now, because my old set is missing way too many tiles (stolen for jewelry, don't ask).Kimberly Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12897181372044511961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18500594.post-407778218683054972007-11-29T14:43:00.000-04:002007-11-29T14:43:00.000-04:00Ha!Ha!Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15130321823549477784noreply@blogger.com
