==Rules==
[[File:Juego de letras.jpg|thumb|All games of ''Anagrams'' are played with letter tiles]]

Different editions of the game use different rules, and players now often play by house rules, but most{{citation needed|date=March 2020}} are variants of the rules given here, taken from Snatch-It.<ref name="usgames">{{cite web |title=Snatch-It Rules |url=https://www.usgamesinc.com/cart.php?target=storage&action=download&storage=XLite%5CModule%5CCDev%5CFileAttachments%5CModel%5CProduct%5CAttachment%5CStorage&id=14027 |publisher=US Games Systems |access-date=11 March 2020}}</ref>

To begin, all tiles are placed face down in a pool in the middle of the table. [[Player (game)|Players]] then take turns flipping over tiles until somebody notices a word of three or more letters. A word can be formed by either:
* Using a number of face-up tiles from the pool
* "Stealing" a word from a player by combining it with one or more tiles from the pool to make a new word (e.g., the word TRACK may be formed with a K from the pool and a player's CART). Players may also combine their own words with additional tiles from the pool in the same way.

When a player sees a word, they call it immediately (irrespective of who flipped the last tile) and place the word in front of them. The game then continues with further tiles being flipped.

All words must be at least three letters long. When a word is expanded with tiles from the pool, the added tiles may not simply be a suffix (like -S or -ING).

The game ends when all tiles are face up and no further words can be formed. Players then score according to the words they have in front of them: a 3-letter word is worth 1 point, a 4-letter word 2 points, and so on.<ref name="usgames"/>
