WS GAME COMPANY SCRABBLE VINTAGE BOOKSHELF EDITION
In the 1930's, an unemployed architect named Alfred M. Butts invented a board game using letter tiles. He first called it Lexico and then Criss Cross Words. It remained relatively unknown until he teamed with entrepreneur James Bruno, who trademark the name SCRABBLE. The newly named game was first made in 1948 and has been popular ever since.
