What Is Scrabble?

Scrabble is one of the most iconic word games ever created. Designed in the 1930s by Alfred Butts, the game was originally called “Lexiko” and later renamed “Criss-Cross Words” before taking the modern name we know today. Since then, Scrabble has become a worldwide classic, translated into dozens of languages and played by millions of enthusiasts both offline and online.

How Does Scrabble Work?

Each player begins with seven random tiles. On every turn, you use some or all of them to place a word on the board. All words must connect to existing tiles, creating a network of intersecting words—similar to a crossword puzzle. After placing a word, you refill your rack from the tile bag until you have seven tiles again. Scrabble becomes more interesting with the help of bonus squares.
