Scrabble

Scrabble is a popular board game for two to four players. The goal is to win the most points by placing letter tiles on a board to form words and collect points.

This book contains the basic Scrabble rules for beginners who have never played before or want to refresh their knowledge of them. The bulk of this guide, however, is concerned with the strategy of the game for players looking to improve their technique. If you are familiar with Scrabble already, you may skip the Rules section and proceed to Strategy.
