How to play
- The board is a diamond-shaped garden. Everyone holds 6 letter tiles; on your turn build a word by tapping a tile, then a square (on a computer you can also drag them). Tap the magnifier to zoom in.
- The first word must cover the sunflower in the middle. After that, every new word goes in a single row or column with no gaps and must touch the tiles already played. Every word you form must be in the dictionary.
- Each word scores the points of all its letters. Values come from how common each letter is in our own dictionary: vowels are cheap, rare letters are worth a lot.
- Garden fruits reward whoever covers them: the watermelon doubles the whole move, the strawberry adds +10, grapes let you play again, the cherry steals a tile from the leading rival and the mango gives you a bonus tile.
- Harvest! Place 6 or more tiles in one move to earn +25 and a bonus tile. You can also swap tiles or pass. The host decides whether jokers are in play and how long each turn lasts (60, 90 or 120 seconds).
- The game ends when the bag is empty and someone runs out of tiles (that player earns +20), or when everyone goes two rounds without scoring. With the Party Pass and 4 players you can play in pairs (2 vs 2).
