Word Domination uses a board with 9 x 9 squares. Certain squares have added bonuses that affect the tile played on them. Activate a bonus by playing a tile on a bonus square. The bonus square can only be used once per game. This means that if you play a word on a bonus square, adding tiles to this word in a different round will not activate the bonus from the previous round.

There are four different types of bonus squares:

Double Letter Bonus (DL): The Double Letter bonus squares will double the point value of the tile placed on that square. The DL Bonus is called 2L in Italian and 2B in German

Triple Letter Bonus (TL): The Triple Letter bonus squares will triple the point value of the tile placed on that square. The TL Bonus is called 3L in Italian and 2B in German.

Double Word Bonus (DW): The Double Word bonus square will double the point value for all tiles in the word that includes a tile played on this square. The DW Bonus is called 2P in Italian, 2W in German and DP in Spanish.

Triple Word Bonus (TW): The Triple Word bonus square will triple the point value for all tiles in the word that includes a tile played on this square. The TW Bonus is called 3P in Italian, 3W in German and TP in Spanish.
