Rules – How to play?

Step 1. REBE only has two, three, or four players.

Step 2. Register your first name in the game.

Step 3. Each game has 4 rounds. Each round has a different word category. During each round, the players are tasked one at a time with coming up with a word related to the given category from any number of letters, having all the letters of the alphabet at their disposal. The first player must pass through the square in the center of the board (Start) immediately after pressing the PLAY button. Players will start and play in the order they are introduced into the game.

The meaning of the buttons:
PLAY = starting the game
PASS = give up the other player's turn
CLEAR = delete the letters added in the last word
BUZZ = the correctness of the word written on the game board is checked. The one who pressed BUZZ, presses KEEP IT or TRY AGAIN depending on the result. All players must accept the solution if you want to keep it by clicking ✓ beside their names
TRY AGAIN = unlock the solution in case you want to change something in the current word
KEEP IT = add the word to your list and move on to the next player
NEXT ROUND = if all players agree there are no more word, they can move on to the next round

The letters placed in a single turn must all be in a single horizontal row or in a single vertical column, and the letters placed (plus letters already on the board) must form a single word from the dictionary, with no gaps. Each new word must connect to the existing words, in one of the following ways:

• Adding one or more letters to a word or letters already on the board.
• Placing a word at right angles to a word already on the board. The new word must use one of the letters already on the board or must add a letter to one of the words on the board.
• Placing a complete word parallel to a word already played so that adjacent letters also form complete words.
• If we add a group of words, then there will be no spaces between them (for example: Roman Catholic will be written on the game board as RomanCatholic).

Step 4. Scoring calculation: Each letter used in the proposed word has a value. This amount should always be totaled. The accumulated points are added automatically according to each letter value used in the proposed word.

1 point	A, E, I, O, U, L, N, S, T, R
2 pointS	D, G
3 points	B, C, M, P
4 points	F, H, V, W, Y
5 points	K
8 points	J, X
10 points	Q, Z

Step 5. The game automatically chooses a winner at the end of the rounds.
