Description: Make words using the dice. The Jumbly dictionary for word is huge ! It contains 170,000 words. The longest word in the dictionary is 10 letters.
Letter scores and distribution are the same as in Scrabble.
This is a follow-up twist on the highly successful 2 3 4 Letter Words we released in July 2011
Instructions: Make 2-10 letter words using the letters on the shelf. You have a set of 98 letters to play with.
Each time you add a letter to the table, a new letter replaces it on the shelf.
When you have made a word, click on "submit". Any 10 letter word is automatically submitted.
Scoring
Letter distribution and scores are the same as in Scrabble.
Bonus for words longer than 4 letters:
5 letters - 10
6 letters - 20
7 letters - 30
8 letters - 40
9 letters - 50
10 letters - 100
Words submitted before the clock runs down obtain a 5 point bonus.
2 adjacent die-faces are the same color, those letters score double.
3 adjacent die-faces are the same color, those letters score triple.
4 adjacent die-faces are the same color, those letters score quadruple.
You may only use each word once (there are 170,000 words in all).
If you use a word more than once, the word scores negative.
If you place a non-valid ten letter word on the table, the score is deducted (color sequence boni do not count).
You choose when the game is over:
When you run out of letters in a Letter Set, you will be given the choice of
- completing the Letter Set and submitting your score,
- renewing the Letter Set (ie receiving 98 new letters) and continuing with the current game.
HighScores
You can only submit a high score upon the completion of a letter set.
