Your results may vary. Proper names may not be made available for use under all gaming conditions; house rules should always be followed. Consult the official rule book before beginning any gaming regimen. Use caution while making up words until you know how spelling affects you and those around you. Side effects are generally mild or moderate and may include increased heart rate, arguments, loss of friendships, name calling, dislodged tiles, repeated use of a dictionaries, raised voices, sleepless nights, frightened pets, spilled drinks, headaches, blurred vision or dizziness. Extended gameplay may cause fatigue, and floppiness or loss of muscle tone. Contact your doctor for any game lasting more than four hours as in some rare cases blindness has been known to occur.
