This is the Old Word Order

In a world where the mundaneness of life is held fast by a Gordian knot of technology, travel and incessant media only one game can cut through to the very fiber of the human mind...SCRABBLE. Face it, Scrabble is ubiquitous. It is found in 29 different language versions in 121 countries. A Scrabble board slumbers in one out of every three American households. Hundreds of thousands of people play it and a few valiant souls even dare to pursue Scrabble on the lofty competitive stage. When unassuming Alfred Butts created Scrabble did he imagine his nascent brainchild would become the behemoth it is today? Yes, among word games Scrabble is surely sovereign and occupies a seat among the laureled pastimes of chess, checkers and Monopoly. This why your humble writer has decided to dedicate a chunk of his life to it: a small token of my gratitude. This game engendered in me a love for words, strategy and a desire to push my intellect to its zenith, wherever that may be. I hope you will join me on our quest to find it. Those who seek to attain a higher state of tranquility and mental acuity are all seeking the OLD WORD ORDER.
