If the game is near the end and players are not holding seven tiles, they do not get the bonus for using all of their tiles. This is only collected for seven letter words placed. Once all tiles are gone from the bag and a single player has placed all of their tiles, the game will end and the player with the highest score wins. When the game ends, each player will count all points that are remaining on their tiles that have not been played.
This amount will be deducted from the final score. An added bonus is awarded to the player that ended the game and has no remaining tiles.
The tile values of all remaining players will be added to the score of the player who is out of tiles to produce the final score for the game. Any word that is found in a standard English dictionary can be used in the game of Scrabble.
There are also Official Scrabble Dictionaries that can be purchased for more word options. There are some words that are not allowed to be played and these include suffixes, prefixes and abbreviations. Any word that requires the use of a hyphen or apostrophe cannot be played in the game. Any word that required the use of a capital letter is not allowed.
When playing an English version of the game, foreign words are not allowed to be placed on the board. However, if the foreign word does appear in a standard English dictionary, it is allowed. The reason for this is due to the fact that the word is spoken enough and is considered part of the English language. This website is intended for information and entertainment purposes only.

The player who ended the game and who therefore has no more tiles remaining is given an added bonus. Each player must play off of words already present on the board. You may only place letters in a straight line horizontally or vertically.
You can place letters in both directions on a single turn. The letters placed must form complete words. Anytime two or more letters touch, they must form valid, legal words. No tile can be moved or shifted once it is played baring a successful challenge. Whenever a word is played, other players may challenge the word if they do not believe it is a real word or it is spelled wrong. According to Scrabble rules, players should agree before the game begins on the dictionary they will use.
All words in that dictionary that are labeled as parts of speech, including foreign origin, obsolete, and slang words, are permitted. The only words present in a dictionary that are not legal are as follows: abbreviations, prefixes and suffixes standing alone, words that require a hyphen or apostrophe, and words requiring capitalization.
There is also a free online Scrabble dictionary available for use. If a word is challenged and it is legal, the challenger loses his or her next turn.
