`First Things First
`The ReadMe file
`The SCRABBLE Complete CD-ROM game has a ReadMe file where you can view both the License
`Agreement and updated information about the game. We strongly encourage you to take the time to
`read this file in order to get the benefit of changes made after this manual went to print.
`To view this file, double-click on it in the SCRABBLE Complete directory found on your hard drive
`(usually C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Scrabble Complete). You can also view the ReadMe file
`by first clicking on the Start button on your Win98/Me/XP taskbar, then on Programs, then on
`Infogrames Interactive, then on SCRABBLE Complete, and then on the ReadMe file.

`How to Play SCRABBLE
`Complete in GameSpy
`Arcade
`You can play SCRABBLE Complete online
`through GameSpy Arcade, which comes conve-
`niently bundled with the game. If you haven’t
`done so already, insert your SCRABBLE Complete
`CD and install Arcade now. Then, to play
`SCRABBLE Complete online, just follow these
`simple instructions:
`Launch GameSpy Arcade and Go to the
`SCRABBLE Complete Room: Click on the
`GameSpy Arcade link in your Start menu. When
`the software starts, you’ll see a list of games and
`more along the left-hand side. Click on the
`SCRABBLE Complete button on the left to enter
`the SCRABBLE Complete room.
`Find or Start a SCRABBLE Complete Server:
`Once you’re in the SCRABBLE Complete room
`you can meet or greet other players, find servers or
`create your own server. The top half of the appli-
`cation will list all of the available servers, including
`the number of people playing and your connec-
`tion speed (measured “ping” — the lower your
`ping, the better). Don’t like any servers? Click on
`the “Create Room” button to start your own serv-
`er and wait for people to sign up. (A clever server
`name usually attracts people.) Otherwise, double-
`click on a server of your choice to join in.
`
`10
`
`Joining and Starting a Game
`Once you double-click on a server or start your
`own, you’ll be in a staging room, in which you
`can talk with your fellow players. When you’re
`ready to play, click the “Ready” button at the top
`of the screen. When everyone in the room has
`signaled their readiness, the host can then launch
`the game. Arcade will fire up SCRABBLE
`Complete and the game will begin!

`
`SCRABBLE Rules —
`A Summary
`Object
`Be the player with the highest final score.
`The Basic Rules of the SCRABBLE
`Game
`Players form interlocking words, crossword fashion,
`on the board using letter tiles of varying values.
`Each player competes for high score by taking
`
`advantage of the letter values, as well as the values
`of the “premium” squares on the board.
`• Player 1 always goes first.
`• Each player starts with seven letter tiles in
`his or her letter rack. Player 1 combines two or
`more letter tiles to form a word and places it on
`the board to read either across or down. One of
`the letters must be placed on the center <star>
`square.
`• On subsequent turns, each player adds one or
`more letters to those already played to form
`new words. All letters played in a turn must be
`placed in one row — either across or down —
`to form one complete word. All words must
`have at least two letters. If the letters played
`touch other letters in adjacent rows, they must
`form complete words, crosswise fashion, with
`these letters. The player gets full credit for all
`words formed or modified on their turn.
`• A player completes a turn by adding together
`the letter values of all new words formed on
`that turn. The player then draws as many new
`letter tiles as those played, thereby always keep-
`ing seven letter tiles in his/her letter rack.
`• Either of the two blank tiles may be used as any
`letter. Once a player states which letter the
`blank tile represents, it remains that letter for
`the rest of the game.
`• A player may use a turn to exchange some or all
`of the tiles in his or her tile rack, provided there
`are at least seven tiles left to draw. The player
`draws as many new letter tiles as are returned to
`the pool. This ends the turn.
`
`• All words, including those of foreign origin, as
`well as obsolete, colloquial, or slang words are
`permitted. Words that are not permitted
`include those that are always capitalized, abbre-
`viations, prefixes and suffixes used alone, and
`those requiring a hyphen or an apostrophe.
`• A player may challenge his/her opponent’s last
`word (unless playing against Maven). If the
`word challenged is unacceptable, the challenged
`player’s tiles are automatically returned to
`his/her rack and he/she loses that turn. If the
`word challenged is acceptable, the challenger
`loses his/her next turn. Note: The Challenge
`Penalty option must be enabled in order for a
`player to lose his/her turn.
`• The game ends when all letters have been
`drawn and one player uses his or her last letter;
`or when all possible plays have been made, or
`when each player scores zero points (by passing,
`exchanging or losing challenges) on three con-
`secutive turns.
`Scoring
`Scoring for the SCRABBLE Complete CD-ROM
`game is done automatically. Here’s how scores are
`calculated:
`• The score for each turn is the sum of the letter
`values in each word formed or modified on that
`turn, plus the additional points obtained from
`placing letters on premium squares.
`• Premium letter squares: A light blue square
`doubles the score of a letter placed on it; a dark
`blue square triples the letter score.

`
`• Premium word squares: The score for an entire
`word is doubled when one of its letters is placed
`on a pink square; it is tripled when one of its
`letters is placed on a red square. Premiums for
`double or triple letter values are included (if any)
`before doubling or tripling the word score. If a
`word is formed that covers two premium word
`squares, the score is doubled and then re-doubled
`(four times the letter count).
`Note: The center <star> square is pink, which
`always doubles the score for the first word.
`• Letter and square premiums count only on the
`turn in which they are played.
`• When a blank tile is played on a pink or red
`square, the value of the word is doubled or
`tripled, even though the blank itself has no
`score value.
`• When two or more words are formed in the
`same play, each is scored. The common letter is
`counted (with full premium value, if any) for
`each word.
`• Any player who plays all seven tiles on a turn
`scores a “Bingo” for a premium of 50 points
`after totaling his or her score for the turn.
`• When the game ends, each player’s score is
`reduced by the sum of his or her unplayed
`letters. If a player has used all of his or her
`letters, the sum of the other players’ unplayed
`letters is added to that player’s score.
