Sample Answer:

• Apart from Ludo and Carrom, whenever all of my cousins or friends come home, we have at least one game of Scrabble. Being a voracious reader, I stock up on words mainly so that it helps me during the game and improves my vocabulary.
• The game of Scrabble was invented by Alfred Mosher Butts, who was a New York architect, in 1931. His attempt was to create a game that was an amalgamation of anagrams and crosswords and involved a bit of luck and a great deal of skill. I was introduced to this game by one of our English teachers in school. She used to engage us in different types of activities and fun games through which we learnt grammatical rules or concepts and enriched our word power. Scrabble was one such game. Besides teaching us how to play this game, she even shared her tips for the game.
• After I learnt the tricks of the game, my mother gifted this board game to me on my birthday. Since then, I have enjoyed playing it with any interested person. Due to recent technological advancements, the game is no more restricted to the board. There are multiple scrabble game apps that you can download on your phone or computer. 
• After Monopoly, Scrabble is the second-highest popular game and is sold in 121 countries and comes in 31 different languages. I like to find out different ways to defeat my opponent using my word knowledge and it is also a good exercise for my brain. Recently, I came across a word that makes it possible to score 1782 points on a single word. It is ‘Oxyphenbutazone’. While the English Scrabble has 100 tiles, its Italian and Portuguese counterparts have 120 tiles. Besides being a fun game, I also use Scrabble to teach English to some of the younger family members.
