Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Word Checker official? ▼
Our checker uses official word lists including the North American TWL (official Hasbro list), SOWPODS (international standard), and ENABLE (Words With Friends lexicon) to provide 100% accurate validation.
What happens if a word is invalid in Scrabble? ▼
In standard tournament play, if you play an invalid word and your opponent challenges it, your turn is forfeited, and you must take your tiles back.
Why do some words work in Words with Friends but not Scrabble? ▼
Words With Friends uses the ENABLE dictionary, which includes many slang, colloquial, and modern terms that are excluded from the traditional Scrabble dictionaries (TWL and SOWPODS).
