Scrabble Day

NumberWorks'nWords Rotorua

Each year on National Scrabble Day, April 13th recognises a game played around the world. Originally named Lexiko and then Criss-Cross Words, Alfred Mosher Butts eventually settled on the name Scrabble. The amateur artist and unemployed architect developed the word game in the midst of the depression. Still, it wasn’t until 1948, a final name change and a trademark that Butts finally began to produce the game.

Scooters

Carolyn from Greenlane

Play a little game sometimes as I go in a car down cambell road to the mall
Legs don't work so in a car
How many scooters can I see just on the verge
Why are they not picked up
