Why did Alfred butts invent the game scrabble?

Alfred Butts invented Scrabble in the 1930s as a way to combine his love for Words and games. He wanted to create a game that emphasized both skill and luck, reflecting his interest in architecture and design through its board layout. Initially called "Lexiko," the game was later renamed Scrabble, and it aimed to provide a stimulating and enjoyable challenge for players. Butts believed that language and Wordplay could foster social interaction and intellectual engagement.
