Scrabble celebrates its 75th anniversary

We’re not going to lie to each other, a Scrabble competition is less noisy than a wrestling match. However, the excitement it provides is just as strong. “What we like is also the atmosphere of the club and the meetings”, says an enthusiast. 225 squares, 7 letters on an easel and billions of possibilities are the recipe for global success. No need to be retired to play, school children have their championship and their motivated champions.

The game turns 75

It was an American architect, Alfred Mosher Butts, who created the game in the 1930s. The brand has been registered for 75 years, in 121 countries. It has become the ultimate family game. Luck, vocabulary and strategy are necessary. With this, you are a winner every time. Being a poet is not very useful, you just need a good memory. Note that some words are banned by the publisher, 400 in the United States and about thirty in French.
