Haven't played before so I went to scrabulous site and I had 3 tiles left and would have beat my opponet and when he was out of tiles game was over! Which free online site is good?

Yes, play ends when one person is out. The winner is the person with the most points, not necessarily the one who "goes out."
The box rules adjustment is the everyone who has tiles left subtracts that value from their score. And then the person who went out ADDS those points to his or her score.
Tournament rules are slightly different, Such games are always played one-one one, and the player going out gets double the points the opponent's rack, with no adjustment to the opponent's score.
Two good sites are www.isc,ro, which plays by the tournament rules and requires a quick download and Scrabulous which had several play options and does not require a download.
Both are free.
EDIT: WHEN ONE PLAYER EMPTIES HIS OR HER RACK, WITH THE BAG ALREADY EMPTY, THE GAME ENDS.
.You do NOT automatically win by doing so, or there would be no point in keeping score1
The player with the HIGHEST SCORE, AFTER ADJUSTMENT, WINS.
I am a tournament director, certified by the National Scrabble Association. I KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT!

Tiles In A Scrabble Game

Making lots of smaller words in the same turn is illegal. You can only place one word per turn. Every tile that you place in one turn must be next to each other and in line, either all vertical or all horizontal. That is a universal rule for every turn. If that happens to be next to other tiles that make other words too that is bonus. Perhaps your question goes beyond playing all seven tiles. When you play less than seven tiles are you keeping them together?

How Does Scrabble End

Scrabulous is the best, I play there everyday!
If you cannot make words then keep passing. If your opponent finishes the tiles, the ones left in your hand are deducted from total score as per official Scrabble rules.

If your opponent emptied out his rack before you did, then yes, he does win. You have to subtract the tiles you had left, and he would have gotten the score. Sorry.

Yes, whoever runs out of tiles wins. You have to subtract your tiles from your score.
