Use it in any word and pocket a +25 bonus • Power Boxes — land tiles on DL or TL enhancers to multiply your score. Avoid the Pits or watch points vanish • Blinking Tiles — they're leaving the board soon. Grab them before they disappear BRAGGING RIGHTS • First player globally to find a 7+ letter word earns a +10 First-Find bonus — exclusive to you that round • 3 valid words in a row triggers a Combo — a +20 bonus on your next word • React to rivals after each round — fire, howl, clap, or wow them into submission EVERY ROUND IS FRESH New board.
