Players compete to build high-scoring words on a crossword-like board in Scrabble, which originated as Lexico and became Criss-Cross Words before eventually becoming a hit as Scrabble.

The Basics:

Scrabble, designed by Alfred Mosher Butts, was first published commercially in 1948 by James Brunot. The U.S. manufacturing rights were licensed to Selchow and Righter in 1953. Today, the Scrabble brand is owned in the U.S. and Canada by Hasbro, and elsewhere in the world by Mattel.
