Scrabble™ turns 60 today!

Accordng to National Public Radio, the word game Scrabble™ was granted a copyright on December 16, 1948. Scrabble™ was created by Alfred E. Butts in 1938 as Lexiko. It is the most popular board game in the United Kingdom. It has gained popularity with free online versions (like at the International Scrabble Club and Scrabulous Lexulous).

MadProfessah is a big fan of board games like Chess and Scrabble™. Congratulations on your 60th birthday, Scrabble™! My favorite Scrabble™ memory was playing AST(E)RNAL through two triple letter word scores for 98 points as my last word to end (and win) the game!
