The seeds of the game that became known as Scraggle were formalised in 1979 by Wayne Anfall, after a regular game of Scrabble with a friend had taken an unsavoury turn. "I have a proglem pronouncing the letters 'g' and 'g'", explained Anfall (meaning 'b' and 'd'). "I hag put gown 'riggle' on a gougle worg score, and my mate's grother came in ang starteg laughing at me". While his mate's brother was having the board surgically removed from his arse some time later, Anfall was inspired to create the game that millions know and love today, in order to remove linguistic incompetence as a barrier to the enjoyment of a game based on the ability to spell.
