EA Heats Up Scrabulous Scrap With Sanctioned Scrabble

Electronic Arts and Hasbro have announced the release of a legit version of Scrabble for Facebook. The iconic word game will launch in mid-July for Facebook users in the U.S. and Canada. A version can currently be played through the gaming site Pogo.com. The release sets up a showdown between the Hasbro-sanctioned Scrabble and the unauthorized but popular Scrabulous, a Facebook game that closely resembles Scrabble. Created by brothers Jayant and Rajat Agarwalla two years ago, Scrabulous has amassed a legion of loyal fans with more than 518,000 daily active users on Facebook.
