 Scrabble is a fun and educational board game where players need to use their creativity to come up with and spell correctly different words to strategically fit onto the Scrabble board. Points are assigned to each letter and depending on the square the letter is placed, these points can double or triple in value.
 The higher vocabulary you have and the better speller you are, will increase your advantage against those you play with. In the game of Scrabble, any dictionary word goes; the only catch is, your word needs to use one of the letters in someone else's word.
