In Grabble, you score points in two ways:

1. Creating words from tiles on the table
2. Stealing words from other players

Creating Words from tiles on the table

Every several seconds a new tile appears on the table. If you see tiles to create a word that’s 4+ letters long, type it in to grab it. You score one point for every letter.

Stealing words

Once a player has created a word, that word can be stolen. To steal a word, you create a new word that combines ALL the letters in the existing word plus at least one letter from the table.

For example, if one player has made the word BATHE, you can use an R on the table to create a new word: BREATH. When you do that, the player who had BATHE loses that word and its 5 pts, and you gain 6 pts. (You can definitely use more than one letter to steal. For example, you could take the letters E,R,D from the table to steal BATHE and turn it into BREATHED.)

One thing: You must create a brand new word, so you can’t steal a word just by adding one of these common suffixes: -S, -ED, -ING. You also can’t steal by adding UN- or RE- to the start of a word. Everything else is fair game!

You can also build on your own words. For example, if you’ve already made CATS, and you see a K on the table, you can enter STACK to change CATS into STACK (which gains you a point and makes your word harder to steal).

Remember, to steal a word you must use ALL the letters in the original word, and add at least one new letter from the table.

Game End

The game ends when all the tiles are revealed. You score one point for each letter in your words. The player with the most points wins!
