Snap Attack players simultaneously compete to get as many points as possible. The game is similar to the Scrabble board game where a board is given with fixed words and bonus tiles (letter and word multipliers) on the board, and seven movable tiles with letters on the "rack". Snap Attack's board is 8×7 squares, smaller than a traditional Scrabble board. Points are earned by making "Snaps" - valid combinations of letters that form a word or words with the ones already found on the board. "Single-Snaps" are linear combinations of letters that form one word, while "Multi-Snaps" are combinations that form two
Fightin' Words throughout the board. Bonus tiles multiply the point value of any letter tile placed on them. Occasionally a player will be dealt a POW tile, which acts as any letter the player desires or replaces an existing letter tile on the game board. If a player replaces an existing letter tile with a POW tile, the letters attached to the newly placed POW tile must still form a word. In March 2012, Fightin' Words added a chat feature to the game. By enabling the chat feature on their profiles, players can chat with each other through the game. Fightin' Words
