Etymology

The term 'scrabbler' derives from the game Scrabble, which was invented in 1938 by Alfred Butts, an American architect. Originally called 'Lexiko', the game was later renamed to Scrabble, reflecting the action of 'scrabbling' or trying to create words from the available letters. The game gained immense popularity in the mid-20th century, leading to the emergence of a community of players who refer to themselves as scrabblers. The word itself mimics the concept of creating something valuable from seemingly random elements, much like how a scrabbler forms words from tiles. Over time, the term has come to embody not just the act of playing Scrabble, but also a deep appreciation for language and wordplay.
