STAXLE
Two players, 15×15 board, against the computer. Words are checked against the NWL2023 word list (about 196,600 words).
Stacking. You can drop a tile on top of a tile already on the board to change its letter. A square you stack on gives no bonus — only a new tile on an empty bonus square scores the bonus. Every word you touch still has to be a real word.
You can't just restack one word into another (SHEET → SHIFT). A stack has to make a new crossing word or lengthen the word. A single stacked tile is allowed only if it makes two words.
Stacking pays by the number of tiles you stack: two stacked tiles score the word ×2, three score it ×3, and so on. One stacked tile is ×1.
How to play
Drag or tap a tile onto a square. Drop on a tile to stack on it.
Tap a placed tile, or drag it back, to pick it up. Recall clears all.
Drag tiles in your rack to reorder them, or tap two to swap.
First word covers the center star and is two or more letters. After that, touch or stack on tiles already down.
Play word to score (Enter works too). Swap trades tiles and ends your turn. Pass skips it. Best word shows the top play you had this turn.
Holding three or more of the same letter? Swapping is free and your turn continues.
Casual vs Tournament
Casual shows the word, its score, and whether it's legal before you commit. Tournament shows none of that — play an illegal word and you get a warning, then a final warning, then you forfeit the turn.

Scrambled board
Pick it from the menu at the top. Bonus squares get shuffled to random spots and the tile mix changes a bit, so word bonuses can stack higher than usual.
