LAF · How to play
Make a little room for words.
A shared deck, four seats, and sentences you build yourself.
Draw, arrange, discard
The starting seat receives fifteen tiles and discards first. Other seats begin with fourteen. On your turn draw from the deck or the left-hand open discard, arrange your rack and discard to the right.
Sentences and families
Sentence and family groups are recognised on the rack. The conjunction and/ve links compatible phrases; it does not replace a missing word. Tile meanings and sentence explanations follow your native language.
Hands and matches
A match starts with twelve table points per seat. Other seats lose two points after a normal winning hand, or four for a qualifying long-sentence or conjunction finish. The penalties do not stack. The match ends when a seat reaches zero.
Your time at the table
Each seat has ninety seconds on its first turn of a hand and thirty seconds afterwards. Opening a menu does not stop the clock. Reconnecting resumes the current server state.
A/B/C leagues
A corresponds to A1–A2, B to B1–B2 and C to C1–C2. You choose freely. In the first online edition these are separate matching pools and piggy banks, with the same word content; they are not a verified language assessment.
Your piggy bank
Each play-language/league pair has a separate piggy bank starting at zero. Manually claim twenty-four daily points for each pair; missed days do not accumulate. The day resets at midnight Europe/Istanbul. A normal match costs twelve points.
