Scrabble helper instructions
The following instructions explain how our Scrabble helper works.
Letters
The input field for letters accepts only letters from a to z. Uppercase and lowercase are equally handled. Letters typed in here are likely to appear in the Scrabble helper results, but don’t have to. You can type in up to 9 letters here.
Pattern
You can optionally use the pattern field to match the results to a specific situation on your Scrabble board. There are several special chars used here. Please, find their meaning in the table below. You can type a pattern with up to 15 chars.
| char | explanation |
|---|---|
| a-z | Letter from a to z are marking a field on which a letter was already placed and can’t be changed. Uppercase and lowercase are equally handled by the Scrabble cheat. If one or more letters are given, at least one of them is used in each of the results. |
| . (dot) | Use a dot within the Scrabble helper’s pattern to mark an empty field without extra bonus points. |
| 2 | The number 2 marks an empty field with a double letter score. |
| 3 | The number 3 marks an empty field with a triple letter score. |
| 4 | The number 4 marks an empty field with a double word score. |
| 5 | The number 5 marks an empty field with a triple word score. |
You can narrow down the length of the words found by the Scrabble Solver by simply typing as many dots into the pattern field as the words might be long.
Scrabble helper options
blanks
sorting Scrabble words
With the “sort by” option you can choose whether to sort the results by points or by word length. The default is by length.
Scrabble word lists
Currently, you can choose from 3 different word lists or simply combine them. The most commonly used in the English speaking countries are the Tournament-Word-List (TWL), the official list for the USA; Canada and Thailand and the SOWPODS referenced in the other English speaking countries.
Example for a Scrabble helper search
letters: abcdefg
pattern: …e.4n
In this request, the letters E and N are already placed on the board with a distance of 2 empty fields. One of them is a double word bonus field marked by the number 4. There are also 3 empty fields before E, but none following N. As you can see in the results. In every word the already placed E or N or both are being used.
BEGAN is using E and N and the bonus field, so it is the best Scrabble word here.
