I was about to comment that you could form it in multiple steps, but turns out, I forgot about the size limitation of the scrabble board/how many of each letter.

Either way, that's some neat tech. Specialized machines for such "obscure" usages are pretty interesting. Partially because you just never even think about those existing until you hear of em.

It's a very interesting subject. At first the judgement was 'it can't be done' and then some enterprising company came up with a very creative solution.
And for me, I hadn't even thought of that being a problem, or wood being used for foundations, or... and so on.

Just, so many chains of logic I probably will never even think about that lead to such neat tech which would be interesting to me. Makes one wonder what else there is.
