Word up! Scrabble marks UK lockdown easing with light show

LONDON: Some of Britain's favourite words were projected onto buildings around London to mark the easing of lockdown restrictions and National Scrabble Day on Tuesday.

Words like "freedom", "hope", "family" to represent the mood of the nation were beamed in the style of the game's letter tiles onto shops and locations near landmarks such as the Harrods department store and the Shard skyscraper. "Scrabble is projecting the nation's favourite words to coincide with the lockdown lifting in the UK and National Scrabble Day," said company spokeswoman Amarilis Whitty.
