room you want for either 2, 3, or a 4 player game. Once inside
you will see the Game Room Click To Enter, just click on which
one you prefer.
Click
on whichever game room you fancy. This opens that particular
room. Near the top and to your left, you will see
at the top of the list of games in that room. Clicking on this,
will open the page where you create your new game. You must fill in all the fields, and
make sure all addresses are correct, else the players will not receive their game
invites. When you've done this, click on Set-Up Game. All players receive the new game invite, this is because some players do not want to be player 1. So if you were player 2, player 1 must have a means of knowing about this game! You now have to open your mail for your game invite.
All Scrabble©
game emails are sent to all players on scrabble@thepixiepit.co.uk
please check you are not blocking that email address.
Open your game invite,
if it is your turn, click on the link to your game. You will be
asked to change your given verification code, to a preferred password, once and only once for any new game.
When you have done that, click on Confirm, then Start Game. You are now on your game board page. All first words must pass through the
centre square. To play a word, place your cursor in one of the small white fields, and type in a letter from your tray, using your keyboard. Do this until you have formed your word.
You can use your keyboards arrow keys, to move to the next form
field, up or down. All you need do now is click on Post My Play. You may send an optional message if you wish, that's the large white field above the Post My Play button.

your e-mail program does not support embedded links, (URL's), by

We
have own
Word Finder,
and we offer a choice of ten dictionaries, more than any other Scrabble©
game site on the Internet. They are:-
Collins
Tournament and Club Word
List 12, 15, and 19, OSPD2, OSPD3, OSPD4, OWL, OWL2, OWL14 and SOWPODS.
We also have the 200 tile 21 x 21 Super Scrabble©
game boards. The
Free Dictionary are
used for dictionary definition lookups, they may not define all Scrabble© words.
Players can play the No Dictionaries version of the game, by clicking
on the No Dictionaries link, as is seen above.
Please
make sure that you have Java enabled in your Web Browser, as many features of the game will not function without
Java. We recommend you use the official Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE),
available for Windows, Linux, OS X, Solaris and other operating
systems. You can get the latest version by clicking
here. To enter your letters, type each letter into the form-field squares, until you have formed your word(s). The game accepts all plays made,
so we advise all players to check
all of their plays, using the on-line dictionaries, prior to completion of play, and thus avoid challenges.
If a player makes a genuine error, they can correct that using the Correct Play link, found on the end of play page. We
could set the game to check all plays made, using our 258,000
word MySQL Dictionary DBase, but with so many simultaneous
lookups, this could severely affect our dedicated servers performance,
even though they are super fast !
