In these rules, each round someone has the job of picking how many consonants and vowels.

there would need to be two boxes

Then everyone has a time to work out the highest scoring word on the board.

Whoever finds the highest scoring gets the points and places the word down.

Highest scoring move or highest scoring word?

there needs to be a timer

Highest scoring move! Timer definitely needed

it would be a strange game.

In ordinary scrabble a player can win by having the best average word score but not having any very high scoring words. In countdown scrabble every move is the highest score amongst the players. A player with a good average but no highest scores would never get a turn.
