Sharpen Your Wits and Words for National Scrabble Day at the Haberdashery Cryptid Preserve!

While our residents may be more accustomed to growls and roars than double letter scores, the Haberdashery Cryptid Preserve is thrilled to celebrate National Scrabble Day on April 13th! This beloved word game is a perfect way to flex your mental muscles and maybe even learn a new word (or two) that might come in handy when encountering a mysterious creature.

Did you know? The Jersey Devil, a legendary winged creature said to haunt the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, is rumored to have a vocabulary that would make even the most seasoned Scrabble champion blush. Local folklore suggests the Jersey Devil can mimic human speech, and its taunts are often a harbinger of misfortune. So next time you're laying down a triple word score, remember – it could be impressing a foul-mouthed cryptid!
