Word Checker for SCRABBLE

Check whether a word is playable

Word Checker for SCRABBLE lets you look up words against word lists used for Scrabble and other word games. It suits players who want to settle a word dispute or check a possible play without relying on a general-purpose dictionary. It checks words; it is not a Scrabble game.

Choose the list that fits your game

The app includes the Collins list used in the U.K. and internationally, as well as the Tournament Word List used in the United States, Canada, Israel and Thailand. This matters because a word’s acceptability can depend on which list your game follows. Check that you are using the list relevant to your match before treating a result as definitive.

Look up meanings offline

Alongside word checks, the app provides definitions drawing on sources including the American Heritage Dictionary, Wiktionary, the Century Dictionary and Collins Dictionary. It works offline, so you can check a word and its meaning without an internet connection. That makes it useful at the board, while travelling, or anywhere you do not have reliable access to the web.

Who it is for

This is a focused reference tool for word-game players who want both a list check and definitions in one place. Its 1,000,000+ installs and 4.29 rating from 1,816 reviews suggest it has reached a substantial audience, though ratings alone cannot tell you whether its list matches the rules of your particular game. Boondoggle Labs is the developer.
