In the 1930s, during the Depression, an unemployed architect named Alfred M. Butts invented a board game using letter tiles and a scoring system. He first called it Lexico and then Criss Cross Words, but it remained relatively unknown until he teamed with entrepreneur James Brunot, who trademarked the name Scrabble™. The newly named game first rolled off the production line in 1948 and has been wildly successful ever since.

The game board measures 9.8" x 9.2" x 1.2" when opened for play. It measures 9.8" x 4.6" x 2.4" when closed. It weighs 1.5 lbs.
