Alfred Mosher Butts had already created a game called Lexiko in the early 1930's and by 1938 he updated the game to Criss-Crosswords a board game in the style of a crossword, from the earlier word game he invented.Unfortunately for Butts ,he struggled to market the game.
By 1948, James Brunot had bought the rights to manufacture the updated game, and Butts was set to receive royalties on all the games that were sold. Brunot made a few changes and Scrabble as we know it was invented in 1949. When the game was placed in Macy's store in 1952 sales went through the roof as it became the must have game.James Brunot eventually sold out to the bigger games manufacturers and Scrabble is now sold word wide.
