A brief history of Scrabble word game.
It was invented by It was invented by Alfred Mosher Butts, an architect in 1933. What actually brought about Scrabble word game? Here is it! In 1929, many were victims of very great depression in America, Alfred wasn't happy seeing a single person depressed talk less of millions! Due to this, he decided to create a game that will lift up people's Spirits and put smile on their faces.
After the invention, he approached the 'Established game Manufacturers', but unfortunately, they weren't interested in he Alfred made, so they collectively slammed the door on him. It was only James Brunot, a game-loving entrepreneur, that accepted him, and helped him redesigned the game, this happened in 1948. Then it was available for commercial sales. They took time to build the success and I really like the constancy behind their efforts.

How to play the game.
The first thing you will is to draw seven letter tiles:
Each player will remove one tile out of the tile bag. The player with the letter closest to the letter "A" goes first. Each player will then draw seven tiles from the tile bag.You will need to Score each word: Add point values to each letter in the word, by doing this you've Tallied score. Note that Point values range from 0 points for a blank tile to 10 points for the letters "Q" and "Z." it's necessary that you use a paper and a pen to keep track of the word scores .
Keep play: Keep playing in an anticlockwise direction around the board. In each turn, a player places a word on the board, exchange tiles, or pass.
Select new tiles: After placing a word on the board, bring out equal number of new tiles from the tile bag for each player to always have seven tiles.
Keep going: All the letters that have been played must touch at least one letter that is already on the board in order to form at least one complete word. When one player has used all of his/her tiles, or more words can be made, then the game ends.
At this time you challenge words: You consult your dictionary when challenging word. If the word is not in the dictionary, the player loses his/her turn. If the word is allowed, the challenger loses his/her turn.
The last stage is that you calculate the scores: Each player's final score is calculated by adding up the points from all of their word scores. Then, minus the sum of unplayed letters he/she has. If one player has used up all his/her letters, then add the sum of everyone else's unplayed letters to their score. The player with the highest score will win the game.
The game is interesting, fun and tremendously advantageous.

It's quite an interesting game to play and have fun. The last time I played scrabble game was when I was in Senior Secondary School and I remembered I was only taught that day and I was so happy I learnt so fast and enjoyed it. Since then, I do not have interest in playing games as I am always occupied with other things on my phone. Thanks for sharing with us.
