  1. Choose a word or phrase with which to work.
  2. Scramble its letters until they have no meaning.
  3. Check to see what additional words, if any, the scrambled letters form.  If you need electronic aid, you can use one of the following
  1. Do one of the following
  1. Review the rules
  1. Play the game according to the rules.
