Here's the catch: every tile you move has to end up in one straight line — and it all has to spell a word. Slide three or more letters into place, and try to outscore the table. Easy to pick up in a turn or two. But the highest-scoring play is always hiding somewhere, and finding it takes real skill. Up, down, across, diagonal — what will you spell? ► TWO WAYS TO PLAY • Pass-and-Play (Free): Pass one iPhone or iPad around the table. 1 to 4 players, no internet needed.
