The main method initialises any default values, loads the allowed-words from a local static method (GetAllowedWords) & creates the tile directory. Then it starts a continual loop until the players enters the option '9' on the home-screen. Here an if/else statement seperates two function calls to the same method with the only different parameters being a boolean (randomstart) and the size of the StartHand.
