I'm about to tell you who created Scrabble, the crossword game, and when it was created. The inventor of this amazing game is named, Alfred Mosher Butts, who died when he was 93. He created himself the first game and played it with his wife and friends, tells the New York Times. The first edition of the game Scrabble® came out to the market in 1948, but his name haven't always been Scrabble, before that edition, the cross word game, was named CRISS CROSS WORDS and the table board game and the letter pieces were created by Mr. Butts. Of course Scrabble® haven't been always that famous, when it first came out to market it had no success, and the investors were losing their money. But a few years latter this game became a super succesfull game and by now it is almost a tradition in America. Almost everyone has at least one edition of Scrabble® at their homes. And by now the name of this game is, Scrabble® Brand Crossword Game.

I think that this information is interesting, because when you are playing scrabble you did not know the story or who invented the game. This game I think that is helpful to know grammar, and by playing it you get the skill of creating words with the letters that you have.
ReplyDeleteAlso it is good because there are a lot of types, and different designs of the game, when I first played it I did not understand until someone explained me the rules and the game, but the game is good, and I enjoy playing it.
By reading your blog know I now who created it and when was the first time played, also is important to know the success of the CRISS CROSS now called scrabble and how the game is expanding throughout the continent, I have one scrabble in my house and I have played it thousands of times with my sister, brother or in a family meeting, and everyone enjoy it, does not matter the age or the sex. And I’m impacted that since 1948 until 2011 we are still using it and having fun with it. I love to play scrabble and I enjoy playing it a lot.
