Scrabble is the most famous board game of words in the world. It exists in many different languages, even in arabic ! The board is a square of 225 cells (15x15). There is a bag containing 102 tiles showing a letter on one face. When it is your turn to play, you pick up seven letters. Your aim is to find a word (within the official Scrabble dictionnary) that will fit on the board, horizontally or vertically, respecting crossed-words rules (every new contact should create an existing word). You word will give you some points depending on where you fit it and the letters that you used (Z worth more than E). It is your job to find a very strong word.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find all the tools to implement the Cyber-Scrabble with Netscape browser.
But I do not give up... I still have a hope that one day...

When you are playing a round, you have to provide
   1) The word you want to play (FULL WORD = ALL THE LETTERS)
   2) The location of the first letter (example: E3). To do so, use the two combo box
   3) The direction of your word. If you want to put it horizontally or vertically. To do so, use the radio buttons.

After those three steps, the score is displayed in red letters. If you see an error message
like "You don't have those letters" or "Not correct place", you'll have to change the information that you entered and try again.
