1. Set the game board and other pieces up on the surface you choose to play

3. Replace the two letter tiles and then each player picks 7 letter tiles to place on their letter rack for game play

4. Player 1 then formulates a word while using his/her letter tiles from their rack. Once a word is formed the word can be placed on the board starting with a letter being on the middle square on the board. A word can only be placed on the board either across to the right of down. Diagonal and backward words are not allowed.

5. To complete the turn, Player one must count how many points received (per squares on the board) and draw as many letters used for that turn out of the letter bag to replace them. You should continually have 7 letters on your tile rack.
