To date this is the most successful game show based on the board game. Scrabble pitts two players in a crossword round which uses the famous Scrabble board, along the way contestants can win money by picking a letter that falls in a pink or blue square and then identfy the word. The first to three plays Scrabble Sprint against the returning champion (in earlier episodes). The player with the fastest time in that round plays the Bonus Sprint for $5,000 plus $1,000 for every day it's not won. The show was originally aired on NBC and hosted by Chuck Woolery. The show was originally announced by Jay Stewart. Charlie Tuna took over in mid 1995 and through the end of the show's original run in 1995. In 2024, the CW began airing new version hosted by Raven Simone.
