1. SWAp

After the third round is completed and scored, players swap personal letter supplies.

For 4-Player Games: To swap, the player with the lowest total score chooses which opponent’s letter supply they’d like to use in the Ultimate Hustle. They take this letter supply and the supply’s associated score sheet. The player with the lowest score then gives their original letter supply and score sheet to the opponent as a replacement. The remaining two players then swap their letter supplies and score sheets.

For 3-Player Games: The lowest-scoring player declares whether all players must pass their letter supplies (and the associated score sheet) to the player to their left or their right. All players pass once in the same direction (left or right, as chosen by the lowest-scoring player).

For 2-Player Games: Players simply exchange letter supplies and score sheets.

2. BUILD

Once all players have a “new” letter supply in front of them, set a timer for three minutes and begin a building stage. The building stage is over when the three-minute timer expires.

Before the timer expires, all players should try to build a grid that outscores the final round score on the score sheet associated with their “new” letter supply, without using any of the words on the score sheet.

3. Score

If a player outscores the third round score earned by their opponents with that letter set, they can add 10 points to their total score on their original score sheet from the main game.

After adjusting player scores (as appropriate), the player with the highest total points from all the rounds wins!
