Although Fremantle's Buzzr subchannel would have an easier time getting repeat rights than GSN would...

** Online, ''[[VideoGame/WithFriends Words with Friends]]''. Essentially the same game minus a few rule differences and placement of bonus tiles. So similar, in fact, that its developer was sued by Hasbro. In a bit of irony, Hasbro eventually bought it, and even released a board game version of it...which sells right next to ''Scrabble'' in stores.
** In the 1950s and 1960s there was a licensed low-rent version called Skip-A-Cross, which was identical to regular Scrabble except that the board, tiles, and racks were made of cardboard.
** Hasbro games-mate ''[=UpWords=]'' is basically ''Scrabble'' where you can stack the tiles.
