What is "Scrabble"?

Scrabble is a word game where players use letter tiles to form words on a game board. The board is divided into a grid of squares, with certain squares offering bonus points for words or individual letters. Each player has seven letter tiles at a time and takes turns forming words by placing their tiles on the board. The words must connect to those already on the board, and each letter has a point value. The goal is to create the highest-scoring words, and the game ends when all tiles have been used or no more words can be formed. The player with the most points at the end wins.
