Happy National Scrabble Day!

Whether you're a strategic "Triple Word Score" hunter or just here for the fun of tile-shuffling, today is the perfect day to celebrate the world’s favorite word game. Did you know that National Scrabble Day is celebrated on April 13th to honor the birthday of the game's inventor, Alfred Mosher Butts?

Here are a few ways to celebrate today:

Challenge a Friend: Dust off the board or start a digital match.

Learn a New Word: Did you know "Qi" (vital force) is one of the most played two-letter words?

Hunt for Bingo: Try to use all seven of your tiles in one turn for that sweet 50-point bonus!

Tell us: What’s the highest-scoring word you’ve ever played? 👇
