Lexulous (Facebook)

Lexulous is a word game where up to four players compete against each other by creating words from letters given in their rack. The game is played on a 15x15 square board on which players create words by placing tiles at intersections on the grid. Certain squares have special values and can increase the letter or entire word score. Scores are totalled from the point values of each letter tile plus any bonuses. The first player creates a word using the centre star and other players must play off the tiles on the board to create new words. The game is over when all the letter tiles are played or no player can spell a valid word with the tiles they have left. The player with the highest score (after tiles left in hand are adjusted) wins the game. A player gets a 40 point bonus for using 7 tiles from their rack and 50 points for using all 8. This is called a bingo.
