Aussie Scrabble

In a world-first for Scrabble, Mattel has today launched the first country-specific version of the game – Aussie Scrabble. The new edition celebrates Australia’s quirky deviations from the English language, adding homegrown flavour with an all-Aussie slang glossary featuring our localised lingo. Mattel took to social media with its mate Jetstar in 2016 to crowd source the best slang words from across the country for potential inclusion into the final glossary. More than 20,000 submissions via the Jetstar Facebook page were put forward, with words such as ‘arvo’, ‘crikey’, ‘biffo’, ‘shonky’ and ‘cozzie’ forming the official word glossary.

A fair-dinkum twist on the classic word game, Aussie Scrabble seperates the legends from the drongos with new gameplay and a Lingo List, native to the land down under. Gather your mates together and give it a burl!
