Show your Scrabble spirit today
April 13, 2008
Hey, St. Charles County…grab a Scrabble game, a dictionary and settle in for some hot Scrabble action. Apr. 13 is Scrabble Day and nothing sounds like more fun during this semi-snowy day.
According to Wikipedia, the game is sold in 121 countries in 29 different languages. A Scrabble game can be found in one out of every three homes in America. If you are one of the “other two” homes and don’t own a Scrabble board, join the craze and add the activity to your game closet. According to Target’s website, the traditional board game can be found in stores for about $13.
Scrabble was invented in 1938 by Alfred Mosher Butts, an architect. The rights to manufacture the game have changed hands many times and are now owned by Hasbro.
