PROTILES

Once upon a time... or in 1986, PROTILES were introduced into tournament SCRABBLE® play by Bob Schoenman, an expert-level player. Prior to 1986, wooden tiles from SCRABBLE® sets were used. Many players complained about the indented letters on these wooden tiles, finding them easily "brailled" inside the tile bag. PROTILES made from plastic, uniform in size and shape, with letters/numbers silk-screened atop, instead of indented into the surface of the tiles, were the answer.
