Build crosswords from lettered tiles and chase the triple-word score.

Scrabble is the classic tile-laying word game: draw seven lettered tiles, build interlocking words crossword-style on the board, and score by landing high-value letters on premium squares. Use all seven tiles at once for a 50-point “bingo.”

The classic game is a battle of vocabulary and board position; Scrabble Junior offers a two-level board that grows with young players. Here’s how each works.
