Before its’ demise, the game, which was created by two Indian brothers, was the most popular application on Facebook.

The brothers version of Scrabulous was scrapped from Facebook when the lawsuit began. It was replaced by the real Scrabble, which was not greeted with as much enthusiasm.

Now some are wondering if the lawsuit being dropped will open the door for a return of Scrabulous.

It’s not quite smooth sailing for the game. Mattel owns the worldwide rights to the board game and could sue if the brothers tried to return to the social network.
