Alfred Mosher Butts ist der Erfinder von SCRABBLE. Die Urform des Spiels
hiess LEXICO. Im Jahr 1931 hat er 200 Spiele selbst hergestellt und
an Freunde und Bekannte verteilt. Er bot das Spiel auch Parker und MB an,
doch diese wollten es nicht. (siehe rechts)
1938 wurde LEXICO umbenannt in New Anagrams, Alph, Criss-Cross sowie Criss-Crosswords, doch die folgenden 10 Jahre tat sich nichts. Erst durch die Aktivitäten von James Brunot begann der Siegeszug von SCRABBLE. Am 01.12.1948 stellte er einen Patentantrag auf die Spielidee und am 16.12.48 erhielt er das Patent auf Scrabble®. Von 1948-52 stellte James Brunot SCRABBLE selbst her und verkaufte es sehr erfolgreich. Im Jahr 1952 übernahm der Verlag Selchow & Richter die Rechte für USA und Kanada. 1953 erhielt der Verlag J.W.Spear & Sons die Rechte für Grossbritannien und den Rest der Welt. 1987 ging Scrabble (USA/Kanada) an den Verlag Milton Bradley (MB). 1994 ging der Verlag Spears samt den Rechten für SCRABBLE an Mattel.

Alfred Butts first developed Lexiko in 1931 based upon the frequency of letters on the front page of the New York Times. By 1940, a gameboard had been added and the name was changed to Criss Cross Words. The rules were simplified in 1948, and the name was changed to SCRABBLE. In 1952, the President of Macy’s discovered SCRABBLE, and its popularity has surged ever since. Over 100 million games have been sold worldwide, making it easily the world’s best selling word game.
