Tile Rush is in beta — details may change.
A Scrabble-flavoured speed round. Each round puts a seven-cell slot on stage — one or two cells already filled by board tiles, premium squares marked on the open cells — and a shared seven-tile rack. Chat races to type seven-letter words that fit the slot and draw from the rack. Every valid word can be claimed by exactly one chatter — first to type it locks it in — and you can claim as many different words as you can find. The more (and higher-scoring) words you claim, the bigger your round.

​
Gameplay

1

Read the slot

Note the fixed board letters, the premium squares, and the seven tiles on the rack.
2

Type words that fit

No command — type any seven-letter word that keeps the board letters in place and covers the open cells from the rack. First to type a word claims it; copies are dropped.
3

Claim all you can

Keep finding more words — every claim adds to your round score until the slot is cleared or the host reveals.

​
How the slot works

The board letters are fixed and the open cells must be covered by rack tiles; premium squares multiply the letters that land on them, just like Scrabble.

The board letters are fixed; fill the open cells from the rack — premium squares multiply the score

  • The slot is partly filled. One or two board letters are locked in place; your word has to keep them where they are.
  • Open cells come from the rack. The letters you add must be on the shared seven-tile rack (unless a gift grants wild tiles — see Gifts).
  • Premiums multiply. Double/triple letter and word squares score exactly like Scrabble, so where a word lands matters as much as which word it is.
  • First to type a word claims it. Each distinct valid word locks to one chatter; you can claim as many different words as you can find.

​
Configuration

Rounds. How many slots make up the game. Round scores fold into a running total. Round timer. Off by default — the slot stays open until every rack word is claimed or the host reveals. Set a timer to pace the room. Difficulty. Controls how the slots and racks are generated. Wild-tile gift. An optional gift that lets a chatter use letters that aren’t on the rack (see Gifts).

  1. Marquee — game title and how-to hint.
  2. Round + timer strip — round number and the countdown when a timer is set.
  3. Slot, rack + claim feed — the slot and rack up top, with claimed words scrolling in live below.
  4. Gift strip — the wild-tile gift when configured.
  5. Leaderboard — players ranked by total score.
The game moves through Lobby → Round → Revealed → Finished.

​
Gifts

Tile Rush’s gift grants wild tiles — off-rack letters. Sending the configured gift gives that chatter a personal budget of letters they can use beyond the shared rack for the rest of the slot; each fire adds to the budget, and budgets reset every round. Off-rack letters still score their normal Scrabble value. It’s off unless the host maps gifts to wild-tile counts.

​
Scoring

  • Each claim scores its Scrabble letter values × premium squares; your round score is the sum of every word you claimed.
  • Round scores fold into a running total; the highest total after the last round wins, and ties are shipped as co-winners.
  • The optimal word is held back until the reveal, so “the best word was X for Y” lands as a moment rather than spoiling the hunt.
  • Points feed the per-streamer tally behind avatar ring tiers. Wins are tracked per streamer.
