It's Scrabble with a Handicap!
by Steve
Friday, October 21, 2005
WildWords is basically Scrabble, but incorporates the use of wildcards allowing people to build longer words.It include several tiles depicting an asterisk (*), which can be used to replace a string of several letters. Hence, it's now legal to spell "JUXTAPOSITION" as "JUX*ION".
This way, you don't end up with a game where everyone spells out small stupid words that no one ever uses in regular speech, like "OGAM" and "ENG", etc.
The game rewards people for using the asterisk, hence encouraging them to craft words that rack up big points.

How does one cross wildcards?
i.e. if I have f*icate for "fusticate" horizontally and someone wants to play vertically using the * can it be anything or would you have to use the * to mean 'ust' ?By
