Scrabble: How the World Came to Play Words

BoomerYearbook.com, December, 2008 – The rule is simple. Search for words, select the right letter block, and send them straight to the board. Scrabble is the name of the game. Introduced in 1948, Scrabble continues to be the most popular word game with varied names such as Scramble, Skip-A-Cross, Spelofun, Palabras Cruzadas, Alfapet, Funworder, and Literati. The 15-by-15 grid game board is a trademark of Hasbro, Inc. in US and Canada and of Murfett Regency in Australia but was acquired by the Mattel subsidiary J.W. Spear & Sons in 1993.

The sale of Scrabble is one hundred million sets and it is sold in 121 countries in 29 different language versions. Its popularity in America is highly visible as one out of three homes own a Scrabble board set.

The history of Scrabble dates back to 1938 and its creation was based on a previous word game called “Lexiko.” Although both Lexiko and Scrabble use the same set of letter tiles, Scrabble creator Alfred Mosher Butts made an advancement in the distribution and point values and included The New York Times as a reference source. Butts was initially able to manufacture the set, but was not able to sell the game to any major game manufacturers. When James Brunot bought the rights of Butts’ Criss-Crosswords game, he decided to alter the name of the game to “Scrabble,” which means “to scratch frantically.”

Scrabble went into the TV airwaves in 1984 when NBC turned the board game into a daytime game show that ran from July 1984 to March 1990 and from January to June 1993. And continues to be ever popularized through the annual World Scrabble Championship.

Project 365: Scrabble, Original Version
Saturday, 27 March 2010

After having played Scrabble mostly online for the past few years (especially Scrabulous when it was still around, and now Words With Friends), I was a little nervous to play the REAL Scrabble board game at Recess.

What did I learn? I am way to dependent on computers. On the online versions, you have dictionaries handy, you can spend lots more time thinking about a word without worrying about your opponents getting tired of waiting, you don’t have to add up your own score. Can you say spoiled?

In the end I didn’t whip my opponent’s butts, but I also didn’t lose miserably without my handicaps, as I feared. Second place isn’t bad, and to be fair, the winner was actually a team of two, but I won’t hold that against them. Well played everyone!

My old roommate invited me to play Words with Friends with him on the iPhone. I like how it uses notifications to tell me when it’s my turn.

Question by Nikoli: How do you feel when people you haven’t met know most of the things about you from your friends words?

In my situation, girls im interested in or seem interested in me find out about my “life” from other people(most of which are not friends or even acquaintances) despite my wishes for it to stop.

It leaves me with nothing to lure, no mystery for a girl to solve, theres nothing new for me to tell a person that ive barely even met. I feel its a reason for failing before things get started.

Answer by BG
If they automatically judge you because of what other people say, they aren’t worth your time. Talk to them first, before they can ask others; they’re only asking because they’re curious. If they mention that they’ve heard things about you say “You shouldn’t judge a person before you talk to them.” Its a good way to make them realize that they should have talked to you first

If you are doing “questionable” things tho, reputation does spread fyi.
