[gareve]

i cannot find an explanation of the TL & DL tiles

[mcsniff → gareve]

Triple Letter score and Double Letter score.

A simple search on your search engine of choice would have yielded the answer.

[cx0der → gareve]

TL - Triple Letter. Letter value x 3 DL - Double Letter. Letter value x 2

Is this what you were looking for?

[IanCal → gareve]

Those I expect will be double letter and triple letter tiles. You get double or triple the points for the letter on the tile.

Thanks for the feedback! Triple and double letter score. I've just changed now so it says it explicitly

[logicallee → gareve]

Me neither. Can someone explain the rules? (What do the red and blue tiles mean? How do you play?)

[IanCal → logicallee]

Tap the letter to place them down. If what you put down is a real word it should tell you how many points you score.

Each letter has a number on, that's the score for using it.

DL and tl are double and triple letter tiles respectively. You get double or triple the points.

I'm not sure if they added it but in the real game you'd get 50 bonus points if you use all your letters.

[puzzledpenguin → IanCal]

I haven't added the bonus 50 points but maybe I should?

[logicallee → puzzledpenguin]

Thanks for the fix (TL & DL changed to double letter and triple letter), now it's much clearer.

[Gasp0de → logicallee]

Double Letter, Triple Letter (I think). It triples the amount of points you get for the letter that is on it. So try to put valuable letters on that spot.
