Fun Facts
The game is inspired by the Criss Cross game and was initially called Lexico before being renamed Scrabble by James Brunot in the 1930s, and the word means “to scratch frantically.”
NASPA has three levels of language for the game, with the school level including just the basic vocabulary, the adult level including some difficult and offensive words, and the international level including even misprints from Shakespear’s manuscripts or Syrian texts and even names of obscure plants and animals, among other things.
The Scrabble Dictionary now includes words like ‘vlog,’ ‘selfie,’ ‘hashtag,’ ‘mojito,’ and ‘selfie,’ etc.
The boards for the game were made by hand for the first two decades by James Brunot, who sold it in his garage.
Now, the game is available in over 29 languages.
Every hour, around 30,000 games of Scrabble are started over the world!
The overall look of the game has not changed since its formation at all.
NASPA uses different tiles on which Braille can’t be used to check if tiles are blank.
