{{Main|Scrabble variants}}

There are numerous variations of the game. While they are similar to the original ''Scrabble'' game, they include minor variations. For example, Literati draws random tiles instead of providing a finite number of tiles for the game, assigns different point levels to each letter and has a slightly different board layout, whereas Lexulous assigns eight letters to each player instead of seven. ''[[Words with Friends]]'' uses a different board layout and different letter values, as does ''[[Words of Gold]]''.

[[Duplicate Scrabble]] is a popular variant in [[Francophonie|French speaking countries]]. Every player has the same letters on the same board and the players must submit a paper slip at the end of the allotted time (usually 3 minutes) with the highest scoring word they have found. This is the format used for the [[French World Scrabble Championships]] but it is also used in [[Romanian language|Romanian]] and [[Dutch language|Dutch]]. There is no limit to the number of players that can be involved in one game, and at [[Vichy]] in 1998 there were 1,485 players, a record for French ''Scrabble'' tournaments.

''{{Interlanguage link|Scarabeo (game)|lt=Scarabeo|it|Scarabeo (gioco)|WD=}}'' is a variant that is much more popular in Italy than the original game. It features a 17×17 grid of cells and peculiar rules.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.editricegiochi.it/gioco/12/Scarabeo.htm|title=Scarabeo – Sito ufficiale |publisher=editricegiochi.it|access-date=October 12, 2013}}</ref>

Popular among tournament ''Scrabble'' players is ''Clabbers''. In ''Clabbers'', any move that consists of anagrams of allowable words is allowed. For example, because ETAERIO is allowable in ordinary Collins Scrabble, EEAIORT would be allowable in ''Clabbers''.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Warren|first1=Jane|url=https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/life/879354/Allan-Simmons-banned-for-cheating-scrabble |title=Cut-throat world of competitive Scrabble as Allan Simmons is BANNED for cheating|newspaper=The Express|access-date=April 6, 2018}}</ref>

A junior version, called ''Junior Scrabble'', has been marketed. This has slightly different distributions of frequencies of letter tiles to the standard ''Scrabble'' game.

Word games similar to or influenced by ''Scrabble'' include ''[[Bananagrams]]'', ''[[Boggle]]'', ''[[Dabble]]'', ''[[Nab-It!]]'', ''[[Perquackey]]'', ''[[Puzzlage]]'', ''[[Quiddler]]'', ''[[Scribbage]]'', ''[[Tapple]]'', ''[[Upwords]]'', and ''[[WordSpot]]''.

There are also number-based variations, such as ''[[Equate (game)|Equate]]''.
