[Ans] What popular board game was originally called "Lexiko"?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What popular board game was originally called "Lexiko"?"

Scrabble, the iconic word game, was originally named Lexiko when it was first conceived by architect Alfred Butts in 1938. Developed during the Great Depression, the game revolved around using lettered tiles to form words, but at this early stage, it lacked the familiar grid layout that we associate with Scrabble. Over the next decade, Butts refined the rules, introducing a point system based on letter frequency and enhancing its strategic complexity. By 1948, the game was officially renamed Scrabble—a real word meaning "to scratch frantically."
