Is Scrabble just reverse crosswords?

I’ve been playing Words with Friends and I really enjoy it. Except for those people/possibly computers that play words right up against other words. Give me some room to work, asshats.

Now, whenever I like something, I like to think about the reasons that I like it. It helps me figure out what I can make that other people like. Because I’m a normal person that enjoys normal things in normal ways.

So, I started thinking about Words With Friends and that led me to Scrabble and that made me think, is Scrabble just reverse crosswords? I love crosswords and am I just building the weirdest one in the world?

Like check that out, you could just easily turn that into a crossword puzzle. What if I’ve cracked the code and that’s how crosswords have been made for years. Two people playing Scrabble and then they’re like, “Fuck it, good enough. Send it to the Times.”

I know that’s not true. Puzzlemasters are probably much smarter than me. I’m sure that they put in a lot more work than I could even imagine.
