High Scores with a Scrabble Clock
I'll let the clock speak for itself, but I think spelling out the numbers is crucial and I also like how they are randomly placed around the game board.

Here's how to make it:

Step 1
First drill a hole through the center star, when you look at the board, you'll notice it's off center, but I think the star is the place to drill!
Step 2
In order for the board not to fold over onto itself, the back should be braced with a two small wooden rulers. Use wood glue to attach the two pieces, so they cross the middle fold
Step 3
See the fold: You want to prevent this from moving.
Step 4
Now use the same wood glue to attach the tiles, use the glue sparingly and quickly remove any glue that seeps from underneath the tile.
Step 5
Place several heavy books over the top of the tiles, to weight them in place, allow the tiles to dry in place for several hours and perhaps overnight.
Step 6
Once dry, insert the clock mechanism, assemble the clock and hang that baby!
Step 7
Finished project, I guess you could also use different words in place of the numbers, as long as they are in the same location.

Happy National Craft Month!

hey just a question but does the game come with all the letters you'll need? I'm gonna make one for a friend who LOVES this game and I want to know if I'm gonna need more than what it comes with. Thanks
