Fact #1. Scrabble was invented by a New York architect in 1938. He devised a point system for his game based on the frequency of letters as they appeared in popular publications. He based the grid-like design of his board on a crossword puzzle. He even named his game Criss-Crosswords as a tribute. This name did not take.
Fact #2. Over the past 60 years, Scrabble has become a veritable staple of American culture. The board remains basic, which only adds to the classic appeal. Despite online versions, and electronic versions, and smartphone versions, most people prefer a simple game on a board. The game has endured for the most part because it's entertaining, educational, and relatively easy to learn.
Fact #3. If you primarily play at home, then a raised board that rotates may be ideal for you. If, on the other hand, you play in the back of a vehicle, you'll want a sturdy board or a handheld travel edition. Most travel editions enable the letters to lock into place. These editions are also scaled down to less than half of regulation size.
Fact #4. If you're a strict grammarian who wants a board with prestige, your best bet might be a polished-wood set with inset drawers and golden trim along the veneers. You'll probably also want a set that's been designed with framed tiles. Framed tiles are what causes the letters to click into place.
Fact #5. A lot of mid-level Scrabble sets come with an aluminum finish, and a clear plastic shield that covers the board. Plastic shields are effective, although they occasionally need to be cleaned. In addition, you'll want to place some padding over the top of any plastic-covered board whenever returning it to the box.
