Game Rules
Simple to learn, challenging to master
The player's task is to form a new word from existing letters by adding one new letter.
Letters can be selected in any direction, but not diagonally.
You cannot use a word twice.
The same cell cannot be used twice in a word.
The longer the word, the more points: one point per letter.
The player with the most points wins.
