!!For the original [[TabletopGame/{{Scrabble}} board game]]:
* FollowTheLeader:
** 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.
** Creator/{{Discord}}'s Activities menu includes a ''Scrabble'' clone called ''VideoGame/LetterLeague'', whose most notable differences are an unlimited board size and a buff to score multipliers. The individual letter values, meanwhile, are almost exactly identical.

!!For the [[Series/{{Scrabble}} game show]]:
* {{Corpsing}}: It was not uncommon to see Chuck burst into laughter at some point while reading the writers' sillier and, oftentimes, more suggestive clues.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The 1984-90 version has not been rerun since October 13, 1995 (the final day of Creator/USANetwork's afternoon game show block). By all indication, USA never aired the first few months from '84, the Spelling-format shows from '85, or anything from September 1989-March 1990. Legal issues would be the likely culprit (see below), though the controversy over certain comments made by Woolery on Twitter isn't likely to help matters, either.
** The 1993 revival hasn't been rerun since its cancellation.
* RecursiveAdaptation: The game show adaptation had its own HomeGame, ''TV Scrabble''. A board game based on a game show based on a board game.
* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Allegedly, the reason the show hasn't been rerun since the mid-'90s is due to legal hangups between Hasbro (successor to Selchow & Righter, the original company behind ''Scrabble'') and Creator/FremantleMedia (successor to Reg Grundy Productions). Although Fremantle's Buzzr subchannel could potentially have an easier time getting repeat rights than GSN would...
* ShootTheMoney: The game board from the show's original run is indubitably the single most expensive prop in game show history. Its total construction cost? At least '''''[[http://buzzerblog.com/2014/08/14/tbt-the-legend-of-the-scrabble-cube/ $1,000,000]]'''''--yes, one '''''million''''' dollars--and that's in 1984 money![[note]]When adjusted for inflation, that total balloons up to nearly $2.76 million in 2022 money.[[/note]]
* {{Uncancelled}}: The 1993 revival.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The 1990 pilot, which was an attempt at a syndicated run (though Chuck was replaced by Steve Edwards, as he was [[ScrewedByTheLawyers already hosting]] ''Series/LoveConnection''); due to the crowded 1990-91 syndication market and the subsequent failures of said seasons' games, plus USA acquiring reruns of the 1984-90 eps, it never got to series; [[PropRecycling the set]] and [[RecycledSoundtrack most of the music]] ended up being used for the 93 revival.
* YouLookFamiliar: [[Series/EightIsEnough Dick Van Patten]] and [[Series/TheLoveBoat Bernie Kopell]] played against each other in one tournament. In the mid-1970s, they played [[Myth/RobinHood Friar Tuck and Alan-A-Dale]] in the cult classic OneSeasonWonder ''Series/WhenThingsWereRotten''.
