13th April – Scrabble Day.
Triple letter scores and rare consonants abound as today is Scrabble Day. Scrabble started out life as Criss-Crosswords, a variation of the earlier invented Lexiko by Alfred Mosher Butts in 1938.
Ten years later Connecticut resident James Brunot bought the rights to Criss-Crosswords and simplified the rules, changing the name to Scrabble.
Brunot’s family actually lost money when they started to distribute the game, and so the rights were sold in 1952 to the company that made Scrabble a household name Slechow and Righter.
Don’t worry if you don’t recognize the name, because after a business world game of musical “buy-the-company”, the company went bankrupt after being bought by Coleco and Hasbro ended up owning the game.
