Is there a time limit for Scrabble?

To answer the question, you must know the difference between SCRABBLE’s two game modes:
• Casual SCRABBLE: The place where players play the game however they want.
• Competitive SCRABBLE: NASPA members meet at specific tournaments and clubs. They must follow the tournament’s rules.

Naturally, casual players who don’t play in tournaments don’t have to have a time limit in their games. However, they can still set a timer for the game to make it more challenging. In contrast, those playing in NASPA tournaments must make their move before the timer runs out.

At a club or a tournament, players usually follow one of these methods:
• A three-minute hourglass determines the time for each play. The game ends after 54 minutes, and each player can have one more move before counting the scores.
• Both players have 25 minutes to play all their turns. After the appointed 25 minutes, the players lose 10 points for each extra minute.
