Build words on the board and outscore the bots
Letterhold is a crossword tile game for two to four seats. Each player holds seven lettered tiles with point values, and words are laid across or down a 15x15 board dotted with word and letter multiplier squares around a centre star. Quick Play pits you against a computer opponent; there are also hint and wildcard helpers, a tile exchange and a log of every move.
