American publisher and developer Scopely is helping charity through Scrabble Go.
The campaign, titled Share-athon, was launched on April 13th – National Scrabble Day – and has been extended until the end of the month.
The initiative is simple; each time a player shares their Scrabble Go board on social media, Scopely makes a donation to No Kid Hungry. The charity keeps children fed and provides meals despite the school closures.
