Behavior and limits
Available only for Standard quizzes. Case is ignored but distinct accented letters remain distinct. There are no partial tile points or letter-revealing hints. Repeated tiles share a counted key; players can select a position, Return tile, Undo or Clear answer. Arrow keys select positions, Backspace/Delete returns a tile, and matching letter keys choose available tiles. Without JavaScript, position selectors are provided. XML retains settings; GIFT skips this type.
Example
Use BUTTERFLY with BUT / TER / FLY and one extra syllable as a vocabulary challenge.
Select an answer position, then choose an available tile. Repeated tiles share a counted key.
