“My wife found I was cheating when she saw the letters I was hiding…” (Scrabble joke)

A Scrabble joke has become a dadjoke classic. Authorship is uncertain.
     
“My wife found the letters I had been hiding & realized I’d been cheating. She swears she’ll never play Scrabble with me again” was posted on Twitter by Jason A on November 11, 2015. “My wife discovered I was cheating. She found the letters I’d been hiding. She got real mad & said she’d never play Scrabble with me again” was posted on Twitter by Kris on November 23, 2015. “My wife found out I was cheating… after she found the letters I was hiding. She got real mad and said that she’d never play Scrabble with me ever again” was posted on Reddit—Jokes on April 14, 2016.
     
“My wife found the letters I had been hiding” at first sounds like marital infidelity, until it’s revealed that the speaker was hiding Scrabble letters.
   
   
Wikipedia: Scrabble
Scrabble is a word game in which two to four players score points by placing tiles, each bearing a single letter, onto a game board divided into a 15×15 grid of squares. The tiles must form words that, in crossword fashion, read left to right in rows or downward in columns and are included in a standard dictionary or lexicon.
