Find words in a grid of letters. Once a word is scored the letters are removed from play and all remaining letters fall into place. The strategy is not only to find the highest scoring words possible, but also to leave yourself with a favourable board for your next pick. Play on a 6x6, 8x8 or 6x12 board.
