Grabble

A tool for teaching and learning Greek vocabulary

Welcome to Grabble!

Grabble is a variation on English Scrabble, with two important changes:

1. The language is Greek (obviously), so the letter frequencies and scores differ
2. The scoring system is designed to facilitate group learning of vocabulary and grammar.

Grabble has some "competitive" elements, but is mainly designed for groups who are learning New Testament Greek to teach one another the language. People at different levels of competency with the language can play together. The competent ones get points for teaching others the language; the less competent ones get points for learning the language.
