In 1982, Little Genius released an official version of Scrabble for the Apple II and licensed it to Psion[1][2] who developed a version for the ZX Spectrum. Little Genius formed an associate company, Leisure Genius, which went on to develop and publish versions for most popular computers of the time.[3][4]
