Basta (Stop / Tutti Frutti) guide: rules, how to play and tips

What is it?

Basta, also known as Stop or Tutti Frutti, is the classic word game: a letter comes up and you race to write a name, an animal, a fruit and more, all starting with that letter. It used to be played with pencil and paper; on WePlay everyone types on their own phone while the game picks the letter, runs the clock and adds up the points.

Setup

• Two or more people can play.
• The host picks the categories: Name, Last name, City or Country, Animal, Fruit or Vegetable, Color, Thing, or your own custom categories, in Spanish or English.
• The host also chooses how many rounds to play and the time limit per round.

Rules

1. At the start of each round a random letter appears.
2. Each player writes a word starting with that letter for every category. Answers stay hidden until the round ends.
3. The first to fill every field presses ¡BASTA! and everyone else gets 3 seconds to finish.
4. A unique answer scores 100 points, a repeated one 50, and an empty or wrong one 0.
5. At the end of the round everyone sees the answers and can vote to reject the ones that don’t count. The highest total at the end wins.

2. If everyone is on the same Wi-Fi, they land at the same table automatically. Anyone far away or on cell data taps Invite and joins with the link, the QR code or the 4-letter code.
3. The host picks Basta (Stop / Tutti Frutti) and taps Start. Each phone shows only its own player’s information; the table is shared in real time.
4. For now Basta (Stop / Tutti Frutti) is played with other people: invite family or friends with the link.
5. Everyone types on their own phone; fields use large text so the screen doesn’t zoom while you type.
6. Custom categories let you play themed Basta: movies, food, school or anything you can think of.

Tips and strategy

• Start with the categories that come easiest and leave the hard ones for last.
• Go for unusual answers: if everyone writes “dog” for D, your “dolphin” is worth double.
• Keep a mental list of unusual animals and fruits for tough letters like K, Q or X.
• If you have almost everything filled, pressing ¡BASTA! early can leave others with empty fields.
• When playing with kids, use simple categories and a longer timer.
