THE makers of Scrabble have changed the game's format for the first time in 75 years to make it less competitive.

Their new double-sided board will still feature the original version.

But the flipside will be the new game Scrabble Together.

Toy giant Mattel says it is more collaborative, allows teams and is accessible for those who find word games difficult.

It is quicker, has a simpler scoring system and can be played by children as young as eight.
