==Gameboard formats==
The game has been released in numerous gameboard formats appealing to various user groups. The original boards included wood tiles and many "deluxe" sets still do.

===Tile Lock editions===
''Tile Lock'' editions of ''Scrabble''<ref>{{cite book |title=New Tile Lock Scrabble: Amazon.co.uk: Toys & Games |id={{ASIN|1223063151|country=uk}} }}</ref> and ''Super Scrabble''<ref>{{cite web |title=Winning Moves Games Tile Lock Super Scrabble: Amazon.co.uk: Toys & Games |url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B008D57U34 |website=www.amazon.co.uk}}</ref><ref name="Scrabble Word Finder">{{cite web| url = https://scrabblewordfinderr.com/| title = Scrabble Word Finder| access-date = February 18, 2021| archive-date = April 1, 2021| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210401202848/https://scrabblewordfinderr.com/| url-status = dead}}</ref> are made by Winning Moves and feature smaller, plastic tiles that are held in place on the board with little plastic posts. The standard version features exactly the same 100 tiles as regular ''Scrabble''. The Tile Lock Super Scrabble features the same 200 tiles that are in [[Super Scrabble]].

===Travel editions===
Editions are available for travelers who may wish to play in a conveyance such as a train or plane or to pause a game in progress and resume later. Many versions thus include methods to keep letters from moving, such as pegboards, recessed tile holders and magnetic tiles. Players' trays are also designed with stay-fast holders. Such boards are also typically designed to be reoriented by each player to put the board upright during the game, as well as folded and stowed with the game in progress.
* Production and Marketing Company, 1954 – metal hinged box, Bakelite tiles inlaid with round magnets, chrome tile racks, silver-colored plastic bag and cardboard box covered with decorative paper. The box, when opened flat, measures {{cvt|8+1/2|×|7+3/4|in|cm}} and the tiles measure {{cvt|1/2|in|mm}} square.
* Spear's Games, the 1980s – boxed edition with pegboard, plastic tiles with small feet to fit snugly in the pegboard. Racks are clear plastic, allowing some sorting while holding tiles fairly snugly. The set comes with a drawstring plastic bag to draw tiles and a cardboard box. It is possible to save a game in progress by returning the board to the box. There is a risk of players' trays being mixed and upset, and the box lid, held on by friction, is subject to upset.
* Selchow & Righter, 1980s – pocket edition with plastic "magnetic" board and tiles. Tile racks are also plastic with an asymmetrical shape to provide a handhold. All elements fit in a plastic envelope for travel and to permit a pause in the game. Plastic letters are very small and tend to lose their grip if not placed with slight lateral movement and if they are not perfectly clean. The game format is extremely small, allowing ''Scrabble'' games for backpackers and others concerned about weight and size.
* Hasbro Games, 2001 – hinged plastic board with clear tile-shaped depressions to hold tiles in play. Board is in a black, zippered folio such that board and tiles may be folded for travel, even with the game in play. The reverse side of the board contains numbered mounts for racks, holding tiles face down, allowing secure and confidential storage of tiles while a game is paused. Some versions have tile racks with individual tile slots, thus not permitting easy sorting of tiles in a rack. The board, when opened up, measures {{cvt|24.5|×|21.0|cm|in|frac=4}}, and the tiles are {{cvt|12.3|×|12.3|×|6.7|mm|in|frac=16}} in size.

===Deluxe editions===
At the opposite end, some "deluxe" or "prestige"<ref>{{cite web |title=Prestige Scrabble |url=http://www.leisuretrends.co.uk/prestige-scrabble.html |website=www.leisuretrends.co.uk}}</ref> editions offer superior materials and features. These include editions on a rotating turntable, so players can always face the board, with the letters upright and a raised grid that holds the tiles in place.<ref>{{cite web |title=Mattel Scrabble Deluxe New Version |url=https://www.johnlewis.com/mattel-scrabble-deluxe-new-version/p1159508 |website=www.johnlewis.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Scrabble Deluxe Edition Game {{!}} Scrabble |url=https://scrabble.hasbro.com/en-us/product/scrabble-deluxe-edition-game:3EBBA319-5056-9047-F518-95AD1EF2B5F2 |website=scrabble.hasbro.com}}</ref> Also available are alternative ''Scrabble'' boards, often made of [[glass]]<ref>{{cite web |title=Scrabble Glass Edition |url=http://www.leisuretrends.co.uk/scrabble-glass-edition.html |website=www.leisuretrends.co.uk}}</ref> or [[hardwood]], that have superior rotating mechanisms and personalized graphics.
