The deck has 100 cards, each with a letter and its point value. (The letters have either a goldenrod or a turquoise background, but this has no game value.) Each player is dealt 7 cards, and 7 more area dealt to the initial discard pile. In turn each player may discard any number of their cards and then draw that many from the deck or discard pile (but not both). This is done a second time, and then players have 60 second to form their hand into words. Players then get the point value of all the cards in the longest word they make, with a bonus of 10 points going to the best hand (typically the hand with the longest word). Hands are done until an agreed time is expired or an agreed winning point total is reached. —user summary
