The game of Scrabble
"Here are the rules of the game, which I shall call scrabble. The game is played by two people with nine cards - let us say the ace through to the nine of hearts. The cards are placed in a row, face up, between the two players. The players draw alternately, one at a time, selecting any one of the cards remaining in the center. The aim of the game is for a player to make up a 'book', that is, a set of exactly three cards whose spots add to 15, before the opponent can do so. The first player who makes a book wins; if all nine cards have been drawn without either player making a book, the game is drawn." - H. Simon

Each row, column , or diagonal adds to 15, and every triple of these numerals that add to 15 is a row, column, or diagonal or the magic square. From this, it is obvious that making a book in number scrabble is equivalent to getting three in a row in the game of tic-tac-toe." - H. Simon
