A new version of Scrabble is set to be released for the first time in 75 years

Absolutely zero research done. Let's forget Tile Lock Scrabble and Scrabble Deluxe (and Deluxe Travel Edition) since they don't alter gameplay substantially, but the existence of Super Scrabble (from 2004), Scrabble Junior (from 1958, which is 66 years ago), Scrabble Overturn (1989), Scrabble BINGO (recent), Scrabble Trickster (~2010), and Scrabble: World of Harry Potter (also recent, but ignoring this is fine) clearly refutes their point. And then for looser spin-offs (ex. Scrabble Cards—not to be confused with Scrabble Slam! and Scrabble: Alphabet Scoop (yeah, tell me SAC came out more than 75 years ago)), they didn't specify what a "version of Scrabble" entails, so I'd say it's at best misleading even if we didn't have the other versions.
