WordMaster

WordMaster is a word-making game played in one-minute rounds. Each round gives you 7 randomly selected letters, including at least one vowel. You can repeat letters within a word, and score points for making longer words and using less frequently used English letters.

Scoring

Each letter contributes points according to its group:

• 1 point: A, E, I, O, U, L, N, S, T, R.
• 2 points: D, G.
• 3 points: B, C, M, P.
• 4 points: F, H, V, W, Y.
• 5 points: K.
• 8 points: J, X.
• 10 points: Q, Z.

Word length also adds points: 3 letters score 1 point, 4 score 2, 5 score 3, 6 score 5, and 7 score 8. Words of 8 or more letters score 10 points. For example, with the letters W I N E R S L, you could make words such as “wines,” “winners,” “sewers” and “sinners.”
