It's Scrabble with a Handicap!

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.
