📖 About This Game

Remember when your mother scolded you for playing with your food? Well, now she'll want to play too! Sopalavras is a game based on the famous alphabet soup: the more you move the noodles, the bigger the word you will form. Six letter tiles are opened at the start of the round. Players try to use the revealed letters to mentally form words with at least three letters. The letters of the words already formed on the table can be used to create new words with the letter tiles of the round. When a player forms a word, he must say aloud the NUMBER of letters that word has. From there all players can keep trying to form words for as long as 1 minute. During this time, whenever a player is able to mentally form a word with an equal or greater number of letters than previously spoken, he must say that number aloud. The player who assembled the highest word wins 1 point or 2 points if he uses all 6 letter pieces in the round. The game ends when a player scores 5 points, winning the game.
