"Think you have a way with words? Well, so do our players and tonight, two board game brainiacs are going head-to-head for their chance to win up to $10,000. It's time for SCRABBLE!"

Scrabble, the world's most popular crossword board game has once again turned into a TV game show, this time for the CW. This is the third attempt to turn this into a game show adaptation.

Gameplay[]

Main Game[]

Two contestants compete in a series of word games based on the world famous crossword board game.

Rounds 1 & 2[]

In Rounds 1 & 2, Raven reads a one word clue to one of six scrambled words on a super sized Scrabble board, and the player in control has to guess what the word is, with a correct answer earning them the traditional Scrabble score for that word. An incorrect answer or no answer gives the opponent a chance to steal. The first word that's revealed always has a letter on the star square. As in the game, the words connect via one shared letter, and the double/triple letter/word spaces increase the score accordingly. There are five-letter words in Round 1, and six-letter words and seven-letter words in Round 2.

Round 3[]

In Round 3, the players are given four sets of seven letters and must make their best words from those sets. They must declare the word, and then where they want to place it. There is no bingo bonus in this game. The player with the most points at the end of this round wins the game.

Bonus Round[]

The player has seven more sets of letters with which to form seven words, earning money for reaching set point totals: 100 is worth $1,000, 150 is worth $5,000, and reaching 200 wins the player $10,000. If the player's final score is under 100, (s)he is still awarded $500.
