- Is this Scrabble dictionary official?
- We validate words against the NWL (North American) and CSW (International) word lists — the same official lists used in Scrabble tournaments worldwide.
- What's the difference between NWL and CSW?
- NWL (formerly TWL) is used in North American Scrabble tournaments, while CSW (Collins Scrabble Words) is used internationally. CSW contains more words, including many British English terms.
- How accurate is the word checker?
- Our dictionary uses the latest official word lists (NWL2023 and CSW). Every word is validated directly against these authoritative sources, ensuring tournament-level accuracy.
- Can I use this for Words with Friends?
- Yes! While Words with Friends uses a slightly different dictionary, most Scrabble-valid words are also valid in Words with Friends. Our Word Finder tool works for both games.
- How are Scrabble points calculated?
- Each letter has a point value (A=1, B=3, Q=10, Z=10, etc.). The word score is the sum of all letter values. Our checker instantly shows you the base score for any valid word.
