Scrabble without the Scrabble®

Casey Buck:
I think it's a shame that a clue-based Scrabble hasn't been done in nearly 30 years. The primary thing that has stymied a revival (and for that matter, reruns on Buzzr) is Hasbro and possibly Exposure Unlimited.

So that got me thinking, can you do a Kirkland Signature version of Scrabble without infringing on Hasbro's IP?

There's only three things that you'd have to change that I could think of:

1. The name, obviously.
2. The tiles to determine the letters to place. Maybe change that to just simply picking two numbers, like on the 1990 pilot.
3. The pink and blue square bonus money mechanic.

Other than that, isn't the rest of the game Fremantle's domain?

I mean, Camouflage was pretty dang close.

So basically, make a Words with Friends game show?

Bingo.
(and that's also not a name suggestion, either)

I'm semi-joking, but my suggestion is "Caesar's Challenge without the Caesar's"
