Scrabble

Lettered tile game

Scrabble is a word game where players form interlocking words on a grid using lettered tiles, each worth different point values.

Trademarked since 1948, it has become a cultural touchstone for wordplay and vocabulary: We played Scrabble after dinner.

The game's name derives from the verb meaning to scratch or scramble. (Lowercase scrabble means to claw or scramble.)
