Full Text:

“If you want to play Scrabble, you will need from 2 to 4 players. You play the game on a board, and in the beginning all players take 7 letters from a bag full of letters. Every letter has a different point value, and the less popular letters will give you more points. The goal of the game is to create big words in the spaces that give you more points. Players take turns playing, and sometimes your opponents can take a long time to play each turn. After you play a word, you have to collect more letters from the bag. During the game, if you don’t like the letters you have, you can trade them for new ones from the bag. If you do this, your turn will be finished. If there are no more pieces in the bag later in the game, you will have to finish the letters you have in your hand. You reach the end of the game when there are no more letters in the bag and players can’t form any new words.”
