The popular game of Scrabble has been with us for over 60 years. Thanks to principal inventor Alfred Mosher Butts, well over 100 million sets of the game have been sold. In fact, it has sold between one and two million sets a year over the past decade.
In our family we have three physical sets; a standard version, a children's version and a travel version.
But did you notice how I used the word 'physical' in the last sentence?
Since the introduction of the iPad(s) into our household of 5, the preference has become the Scrabble app version.
Quite frankly, it's easier.
We haven't lost any letters from the bag.
The plastic hasn't cracked on any of the tile holders.
There is no fighting over the dictionary.
And we can play on the couch, in the car, at the beach or the moon.
(ok, not exactly sure about the last one)
If you have a household with multiple iOS devices (you can use iPod Touch or iPhone as tile holders too) give it a whirl.
If you're into marathon best of 7 matches though, make sure you're fully powered up. That's just like losing your X, Q and Z tiles from the physical versions.
I say iPad for Scrabble.

We are so proud to have had you at our event. Your talk was a big hit. It moved us. We can’t thank you enough.
Malin Björnell, Salesforce
Dan challenged us to have clarity of purpose, both as individuals and as an organization. He related inspiring stories drawing on his experience in business, technology and academia. As he said, ‘There is no ownership without belonging.’
Christian Pantel, D2L
Fantastic engaging talk for our global partner summit. Thank you so much, Dan!
Barb Kinnard, CEO Response Biomedical Corp
Dan not only brought his presentation to life with his charisma, but also content, style and presentation finesse. Our members were especially interested in his thought provoking and top of mind topic on the future of work and how we’re going to be leading the next generation of leaders.
Cheryl Goodwin, CPA
Dan is a conference organizer’s ideal speaker. Not only did he inspire and energize our group, but he also masterfully adapted his content so it resonated with the audience and our conference theme. As a bonus, Dan is able to nimbly navigate to adjust to a reduced time slot when other speakers went over time without sacrificing the impact of his session.
Director and General Counsel
Dan accomplished what we set out to do, which was not only to be inspirational, but also to leave everyone with tools and food for thought / self-reflection to improve their personal and professional lives.
