Letter Poker
Letter Poker
challenges you to make longer
words with the letters you are dealt than the
house does with its letters. You and the
house take turns betting and discarding, but
you do not see the house’s letters until the
end of the hand. The scoring is similar to
normal poker: one four-letter word is better
than a three- and two-letter word (in normal
poker four-of-a-kind is better than a full
house). The longer your word, the better
your chances of winning.
To play, type a word from your letter cards
and press
ENTER
. You can make two words
by typing a
SPACE
between them. Watch for
the dealer’s moves.

dealer’s bet. You can raise it

The pot starts at $1000, with a $10 ante (the
initial bet to start the hand). If you are unable

you are likely to use later from those you are
dealt. To erase a letter, press
BACK
. To
continue without typing letters, press
ENTER
.
If you bet before the house does, you see a
prompt, “

et,
F
old”. If the house bets
first, you see a prompt, “
S
ee,
R
aise,
F
old”.

money. The pot carries on to the next hand.
