About Lexulous

Lexulous, formerly Scrabulous, is an online word game based on the commercial board game Scrabble. It is run by an Indian company of the same name on the dedicated website at www.lexulous.com, and was previously also available within social networking site Facebook.

The Scrabulous web site was launched in 2005, and the game was added to Facebook as an application in 2007, quickly becoming the most popular game on Facebook. In 2008 the game was removed from Facebook, first for North American users and later worldwide, due to copyright infringement lawsuits. The original web site was shut down as of 25 September 2008. Users attempting to access it were advised "The site is taking a coffee break. Sorry for the inconvenience".

On September 26, 2008, the scrabulous.com site had been fully replaced with a GoDaddy.com placeholder page.
