Alfred Butts’s Birthday

April: Nature, Science & Wonder


Alfred Mosher Butts was an American architect who created the popular word game Scrabble during the Great Depression. He studied newspapers to understand how often letters are used in English and designed the game to be both fun and educational. Today, Scrabble is played all over the world and helps people improve their vocabulary and spelling. His idea shows how creativity can turn a simple concept into a cultural tradition.
