How to Exchange Tiles in Scrabble for the Kindle

Wordsmiths can do more than read on Amazon̵7;s Kindle e-book reader - they can also play the word game Scrabble. Scrabble was the first game application made available on Kindle in September 2010. The Kindle application works the same way on an electronic board. Each tile has a number value and the objective is to create words with high-value letters on double and triple squares. Experienced players can choose to exchange tiles and give up a play. You can do this on the Kindle just as if you were playing the board game.
