Calling all Scrabble Game Lovers!!! We're celebrating National Scrabble Day! National Scrabble Day is a holiday celebrated on April 13th every year. Scrabble has been around for over 70 years and is played by people worldwide. Scrabble was first created as Criss-Cross-a game based on anagram puzzles and crosswords. Alfred M. Butts developed this game in 1931. Eventually, the game was redesigned and renamed Scrabble. It was marketed to the general public in 1948 by James Brunot and sold in Great Britain in 1954.
Join us as we honor what is likely one of the most iconic games of all time. Brush up on your scrabble skills and get ready to have some fun!
