How to play

  1. 'Split!' — everyone builds their own crossword grid.
  2. Whenever you place your last tile, say 'Peel!' — everyone takes one more tile from the pool.
  3. Rearrange your grid any time. Swap 1 tile for 3 with 'Dump!'.
  4. When pool < player count and someone uses their last tile: 'Bananas!' — they win if all words are valid.
