WORD GAME GUIDE
How to Play Center Letter: Rules and Scoring
Build words of four letters or more from seven tiles. Every word must use the required letter.
Controls and allowed moves
Type a word or tap tiles, then choose Add word. Each submitted word must contain the center letter. You can use a letter more than once. A pangram is a word that uses all seven different letters.
Solving strategy
Look for useful beginnings and endings you can make from the rack. Extend a short word only if every added letter is available. Try to find one pangram early, then collect other words.
Worked example
With A, E, I, N, R, T and S available and T required, TRAIN is allowed. REIN uses letters from the rack but leaves out T. STRAIN uses six different letters, so it is not a pangram on this rack.
Common mistakes
This game lets you reuse letters even though each tile is shown once. That differs from an anagram rack where one tile supplies only one occurrence. Submitting the same word twice does not count.
Daily score calculation
Four-letter words earn one raw point. Longer words earn one raw point per letter. A pangram adds seven raw points. Your share of all available raw points is scaled to a 1,000-point daily score.
