The red ones.... how many are there

Answer 1

There are eight triple word squares. There is one in each corner, and one in the middle of each side of the board.

I'm pretty sure there's 5...one in the middle and one in each corner

Edit: NO! There are 9!

One in each corner, one in the middle and one halfway down each edge column...if that makes sense

Edit 2: WAIT! Triple LETTER or triple WORD?

I was talking about triple WORD
