Anagrab
Anagrab is a word game usually played with Scrabble tiles. This name is a mixture of the word 'anagram' and 'take' - because the player's words can be 'captured' by the opponent at any time. The game was first described in 1976 in People's Best Games in Richard Sharp, but his description shows that he did not create it.
Play game
The letter tiles are placed face down and reversed one by one. Anytime (no turn) players can call a word at least four letters. This word can be made entirely from a collection of letters, or by adding at least one new letter to an existing word. If a new word is received the person who says the first word picks up the letter and puts it in front of it. When creating a new word, the existing root should be changed - for example you can not add D to LIVE word to create LIVED. All the letters in the existing word should be included in the new word, plus at least one more.
When a new letter is submitted, the first person who says a valid word will pick it up. If more than one is said at the same time, a longer word will take it. If both have the same length (or the same word) then the words are forbidden for the rest of the game and no one picks it up.
Scoring
Sharp shows that the score for each word is the nominal value of the tile multiplied by the number of letters in the word. In practice, a sensible system, such as the number of letters held, is acceptable.
Anagram
Anagrams (also called Snatch or Snatch-words) are fast-based Scrabble non-turn variants that are played without a board. The tiles are placed face down in the center of the table, and the player takes turns flipping a single tile, leaving it in clear view of all the players. Otherwise, the game is not turn-based, and the rules are very simple: any player who sees a Scrabble-valid word can call him, pick up a letter, and put the word in front of himself. At the end of the game, each collection of each said player is scored.
To make words, players can:
- takes all words (of 3 letters or more) from the general collection of open and unused letters;
- add letters to the word on the table - whether they are themselves or their opponents. (Therefore, even if a player has found the word and put it in front of him, it can be stolen at any time if one can combine his tiles with loose tiles to create a valid word, for example, if Sally already has SATE in front of him and G appears in the pool, any player can steal it by calling "GATE" Sally can prevent theft by calling the word itself.);
- take a few words from the table and combine them with the letter (or letter) of the pool to create a new word. (For example, players can combine their own cards with their opposite HER and S's from the pool to create CHARTERS.You can not just combine existing words without adding at least one additional letter.)
This version of the game seems popular among Scrabble tournament players. Writers John Ciardi, James Merrill, John Malcolm Brinnin, and Richard Wilbur are supposedly playing together regularly in Key West, Florida, with the John Hersey novelist also occasionally sitting on.
Bananagrams
Bananagrams is a commercial version of the Take Two variant (see below).
Clabbers
Clabbers is the best known variant for Scrabble tournament players. All rules are identical to Scrabble with one exception: words that are played should only be an anagrams of real words. For example, MPORCTEU is a valid game in Clabbers because this is an anagram of COMPUTER. The increased ability to play parallel to the existing words makes the score much higher. Knowing all two-letter words is helpful in this game. (See picture at the top of the page.)
This variant is Clash Multi-Anagram, in which the player receives a basic score for each set of letters being played multiplied by the number of valid anagrams for the set of letters. Opponents can "steal" points, once the initial player declares their turn over, by announcing another anagram that is ignored by the first player. In finding such anagrams, the blank part should be declared only as one letter and should not change. For example, with a SHEET SHOP? (? = blank), the player announcing that the blank is C and announcing the words SANICLE and INLACES will receive twice the base score; their opponent could steal SCALENI word and print the base amount for himself.
Duplicate
Scrabble Duplicate is a Scrabble-held tournament that is popular in French-speaking countries, where all players use the same tiles and words on their boards and during each round, within a fixed time limit, must find the highest score word. Players receive points only for their own words, and in the end, when there is no consonant or no more vocals, the player with the most points wins the match. This form of Scrabble can often produce many players participating simultaneously; the official record for participation in France, where Duplicate Scrabble is the preferred form of the game, is 1485 at the 1998 tournament in Vichy. It is also the main format used in the French World Scrabble Championship.
Scrabble Ecology
So called because in it empty tiles are recycled. If an empty tile is played to represent a particular letter, the player before his turn can pick up the blank and replace it with the letter it represents. For example, if the word STRETTa is on the board (with A blank), the player can take the blank and replace it with the actual A. However, it can not replace it with E, I, or O to produce STRETTE, STRETTI, or STRETTO.
Solitaire Scrabble
Solitaire Scrabble follows the same rules and acceptance of words as normal Scrabble, but there is only one player. Solitaire Scrabble can be played against the clock, trying to get the most points in a given time period or for maximum maximum score.
Scrabble Speed ​​
Scrabble only Scrabble speed is played with a much shorter clock limit (say 5 minutes), than a normal Scrabble tournament.
Tag Team
This variant is played with two teams of two players each, with each player having his own shelf. At each turn of the team, one of the players makes the game, immediately followed by the game by his teammate. Set-up is very common; a team set up a 302-point triple-triple MENAZo (N) S at the National Team Tournament of the 2010 National Scrabble Championship.
Take Two
Take Two (also called Speed ​​Scrabble or Bananagrams) is a fast-based Scrabble non-turn variant played without a board. The tiles are placed face down at the center of the table in a communal pond and each player is given a small amount of early tile face-ups. From their initial tile, each player tries to build a valid Scrabble grid - players do not use grids or tiles with each other. When a player successfully uses all the tiles of his face, he shouts "take two", and each player takes two more tiles. Play on until there are no more tiles left to draw. In some variants, the person who makes the first complete grid when all the tiles run out is the winner. On the other hand, calculations based on word length are used to determine the winner.
Some variants allow for the exchange of unwanted tiles. Local variants include Take One or Take Four; banning 2-letter words; has a dictionary in hand for use by every player (but since this is a game of speed, this is not widely used); 50 bonus points to build the word "chicken", bonus for the longest word (the number of letters in the word, not the value of the plot, and only if one player has the longest word), etc.
Scrabble Team Speed ​​
Team Speed ​​Scrabble is when 2, 3, or 4 teams compete to play legal Scrabble words as quickly as possible. Printing is not important; the important thing is how fast the word is played. This can be a cooperative game where all players just try to finish the game as fast as possible.
Trickster
The new Scrabble variant introduced by Mattel on April 6, 2010.

Variants with non-standard equipment
Super Scrabble
The game has the same rules and tiles as Scrabble, but the boards are bigger (21x21 vs 15x15 in the original). With bigger boards, there are more premium boxes, up to four times and fourfold. There are also twice as many tiles with slightly different distributions. *
Scrabble Slam!
This game uses cards for tiles where players throw cards with letters to convert four letter words into another four letters by placing cards on one of the four stacks of cards that form words. So if the word shown is LACE, one player can place M on L to make it MACE and the next player can place Z on C to make MAZE and so on. Ratings are based on how many words are formed. This variation is also used on Scrabble Showdown .
WildWords
This game has the same board size and scoring system similar to Scrabble. The main difference is that the inclusion of twelve wild tiles is marked with an asterisk that can represent a single letter or series of letters and a special board box that turns ordinary letter tiles into wild tiles (the tiles are placed upside-down on the box). The nature of this change shifts the emphasis of the game from playing short words to play words of any length. For example, QUA * IST, it could be a QUARTERFINALIST word. Good players should find 7-tile bonuses playing the majority of the time, and short strange words that are a staple in Scrabble a bit useful in WildWords.
Scarabeo
Scarabeo is an Italian Scrabble variant that is much more popular in its home country than the original game. It features 17ÃÆ'-17 boards, 8 tiles per rack instead of 7, and a 30-point bonus for using 7 tiles as well as 50-point "bingo".
Scrabble Junior
This child-friendly version of Scrabble can grow with the age of the child. Two-sided game boards combine variants for children aged five to seven on one side and versions for older children aged seven to ten years on the other. Two to four players can take part in the game. In a simpler version, young players connect letters with words on the board of the game. Words have been pre-printed on the playing field and should only be covered by mail tiles until a full word has been built. If boards are reversed, words should be constructed independently, as they are in adult Scrabble.
Wordox
This game is a cross between Othello and Scrabble played on a 13 x13 board. Each player has a different colored tile. This shelf is plain and always contains 7 tiles. All tiles have the same value, one point. Points are valued for how many tiles are currently your own color. Special boxes are pink and orange. A word with a tile on a pink square clears the board. When this happens, bonus points are accepted for each tile you place in the orange box on the board.
Literaxx
Literaxx is the English version of Literaki , a popular online Polish variant. Tiles are worth 1, 2, 3 or 5 points and colored according to their value. Multiple word functions and three words in the same way as standard Scrabble. However, the three colored mailbox is only active when the tile color matches the square.
Literaxx tersedia di PlayOK.
Anadrome
Anadrome is a web-based variant that (as the name implies) allows words to be played reading in an orthogonal direction, doubling the traditional bend opportunities. With 39 different bonus tiles, many are directly related to mathematical operators such as * (multiplication), ^ (exponentiation), Ã,! (factorial),? (ceilings and floors), and? (product series) on more than 500 boards, the score may require scientific notation, depending on the board. Points are calculated automatically and displayed next to word definitions when placed. Anadrome has a mechanical and tile board editor, which allows users to create publicly available boards for Scrabble, Words with Friends, and their own custom designs, making it a superset of crossword-style games.
Scrabble Showdown
At the Scrabble Showdown game, two teams play a variety of games to win prizes including vacations to anywhere in the world.
The number of game variants
Goss, or Equable
Gossum is similar to Numble. The user places the sequence of numbers and equations, using four major arithmetic operators (addition, subtraction, division, multiplication) and the same marks in placements such as Scrabble.
Scrabble-like arithmetic games such as published in Australia, during the 1970s, under the name Equable . White tile figures, arithmetic operations and symbol tiles (including decimal points, fractions, and percentages) are grayed out, and players can freely take tiles with similar special marks as they make their moves. Obviously his name is meant to generate conceptual links with Scrabble. The game board also has a bonus-box.
Numble
One of the previous number-based variants, Numble is a physical board game using numbers and basic mathematical equations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division). The player forms a valid equation.
Triolet
Triolet uses pairs or triplet numbers that are fewer than, or exactly 15, respectively. The placement of pairs or triplets is similar to Scrabble. Triolet means "triplet" in French.
Yushino
Yushino uses a sequence of numbers in which each number is the last digit of the sum of the previous two. For the two sequence numbers it requires an adjacent number.
Mixmath
Mixmath, a game developed by Wrebbit, also involves placing the correct mathematical equations on a board with a bonus box similar to a scrabble board.

When playing a word, at least one tile of the original word should be inserted into the new word. All tiles, with the exception of Qu tiles in certain circumstances, are the same value, with additional points printed for higher stack letters. The stack can not be higher than five tiles and all the words that are actually on the first level receive double the points.
