the cursor position due to the different resolution of the monitors. To help with this
problem simply add a blank PDF at the end of the PDF file. You can do this with a program
that will append pdf files to each other named PDFtk (PDF TOOL KIT). You can download the
program from https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/

To download Scrabble Click Here.
This is the classic scrabble game. You play the computer (Or another player on a network).
Two to four players play in any game of Scrabble. The object of Scrabble is to score more
points than one's opponent. A player collects points by placing words on the game board.
Each letter has a different point value, so the strategy becomes to play words with high
scoring letter combinations. A Scrabble game board is made of up cells in a square grid.
The Scrabble board is 15 cells wide by 15 cells high. The Scrabble tiles fit within these
cells one to a cell. Scrabble is played with exactly 100 tiles. 98 of these tiles contain
letters on them, while there are 2 blank tiles. These blank tiles add a wildcard aspect to
Scrabble. The blanks substitute for any letter in the alphabet. Once played, a blank tile
remains for the remainder of the game the letter for which it was substituted when first
played. Various letters have different point values, depending on the rarity of the letter
and the difficulty in playing it. Blank tiles have no point value.
