To
play a blank tile, just type in the letter you would like it to represent.
All blank tiles entered in this way,
are drawn with
red letters
and without a score subscript,
since blanks have no score
value.The Minus Sign may be used to play a blank tile anonymously.
This option does not work using Firefox as your web
browser.
If you use the minus sign to play a blank tile, please let your
opponent know what letter it represents. Blanks have no score
value,
and they have to represent a letter (A to Z). They must not be
used to represent an empty space! Blanks remain their
designated letter, for the duration of the game. They cannot be
assumed to be any other letter, if they are played anonymously.

Tip: If you are playing a blank that coincides with a letter you
already have. Say you have one Z
and
one blank but need to spell a word
with two Z's
like FIZZY,
and you want your Z
to play on a triple, or double letter square. Then it is better to use "-", the
minus sign, to play the blank explicitly, so the game knows
exactly WHERE the blank should be played. The game will always
play the actual letter first and assume the second letter
be the blank.There
is no rule in Scrabble, that allows the exchanging of a blank
played on a game board, for the letter it represents, nor to use
it to represent any other letter. Blank
tiles have no score value. The game is best played using
Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
