Scrabble

Scrabble is a board game in which players place tiles on a grid to form words and score points based on the value of the game pieces.
In 1992, Milton Bradley produced Sesame Street Scrabble featuring box art of Ernie and Bert playing the game.
The game has been the basis of several TV game shows, including a run on NBC from 1984 to 1990, a brief return in 1993, and a revival on The CW in 2024 hosted by Raven-Symoné.

Sam challenges the word "gribbaziggy," which Brewster looks up in the dictionary; it falls after entries for "grabbazigoo" and "gribbazigeeks." It is defined as "a medieval form of gribbadugum." The word earns Nigel 193 points in the game.
