Today is National Scrabble Day – one of America’s most loved games, invented by the guy whose name you see above! From DaysoftheYear.com, here’s some history:
Scrabble, one of the most popular board games to exist today, began with the Great Depression of 1929, which left many people out work and starving for food. Alfred Mosher Butts, an out of work architect, decided to create a game that people could enjoy during their free time.
As an avid fan of games himself, he combined the elements of anagrams and the classic crossword puzzle to create a score wording game. This game was called LEXIKO, it would later change its name to Criss Cross Words.
However, many game manufacturers didn’t agree with the idea he had and rejected his game. It wasn’t until he met James Brunot that the concept was reshaped in rules and design that Scrabble was born.
Top 5 five-letter Scrabble Words (that you will actually use)

2. JIFFY (21 points) – A bit, a sec, a skosh, two shakes. A short time.
5. ZAPPY (21 points) – Slang for lively, exciting, straight up fun.
– He was born on April 13th, 2001, in Alexandria, OH – He’s been going to OSU basketball games since he was 4 years old – He is a Cleveland Browns fan, Guardians fan, and an avid OSU fan – He did musicals from his 7th grade year through his senior year of high school – He sang in the highest choir (Vocalise) at his high school. – He is currently a sophomore in college

It’s Easter Week, and for Artist Newsday, we talked about Chris Tomlin who is preparing for his annual event, “Good Friday Worldwide”.
“Good Friday Worldwide” will take place (as you would expect) Friday, April 15th starting at 8:00pm EST. The live stream can be found at facebook.com/christomlin.
“There’s nothing like being there with people and gathering with people. It (Good Friday Nashville) just keeps growing and growing and growing … with what we’re able to do,” Chris said. “But the heart of it is the same. Coming together to remember the cross, to remember this weekend. That’s what Easter is: It’s a remembrance of what Jesus has done for us.”
“Good Friday Nashville is one of the most rewarding things I have ever been a part of. When this event began 5 years ago, I had a dream it might become an annual thing…a tradition for family and friends to come together, to celebrate, to remember,” shared Chris. “As we got closer to that first Good Friday, I felt a need to make this night more than just a concert. My wife, Lauren, and I had felt a calling to shed light on the foster care and adoption crisis in our nation. It was through that and our first Good Friday that our non-profit, For Others, came to be. And so, each year Good Friday Nashville benefits helping children find forever homes across our state. So, when you join us for this powerful night of worship… know that you are a part of making a difference in so many lives.”
