Scrabble is a popular word game that requires players to utilize their vocabulary skills, forming words with the letters they possess. Success is based on players' vocabulary knowledge and their ability to think fast. The game, created by architect Alfred Mosher Butts in 1939 as "Lexico" and renamed "Scrabble" by entrepreneur James Brunot 10 years later, is widely available on the Internet for free, in a number of variations.
"Scrabble Blast"
"Scrabble Blast" is a variation of the classic game that is available on many Flash websites. In this format, the board is filled with squares of scattered letters, which you must form words with. You can only use adjacent letters or diagonally connected letters. Whenever you form a word, the letters used are replaced with new ones. Occasionally, bombs will fall after a turn. The number on the bombs correspond to the length of the word you need to find in order to get rid of the bomb. If you let the bomb reach the bottom of the panel, the game will end.
"Scrabble Online" by Hasbro

Players are given seven letters, with which they must create as many words as they can in a limited amount of time. It can be simple two or three-letter words, or words using all the available letters. The timer begins when the first letter is used. A different spot every round is designated as a double score position, adding another strategy factor to the game.
