Our Press Release Announcing Support for 5 languages!

Scrabble help website ScrabbleFinder.com now supports 5 languages

Lighting-fast Scrabble help website ScrabbleFinder.com now helps Scrabble players find and check words to play in 5 languages: English, Spanish, French, German and Italian.

With over 150 million board game sets sold around the globe, Scrabble® reigns as one of the world’s most popular games. Players often find themselves stuck on a combination of tiles, unable to find a word to play, or need to check whether a played word is in the official scrabble dictionary. The Scrabble help website ScrabbleFinder.com solves this problem with an instant scrabble word finder, now available in 5 languages.

ScrabbleFinder.com launched in June 2010 and has grown to over 10 million visitors per month.  Visitors can use the free website to improve, develop and aid their Scrabble game. ScrabbleFinder.com is now the first website to offer instant Scrabble help in 5 different languages.

Visitors to ScrabbleFinder.com enter up to 12 letters in the Scrabble help word finder box, including up to two question marks “?” for blank tiles. Visitors playing Scrabble online or offline can also specify a start and/or end letter for board play. After the player selects “Get Words!” the website returns all playable words with the specified combination of letter tiles, organized and grouped by length of word.  The Scrabble help word finder at ScrabbleFinder.com delivers word lists in 5 languages instantly.

The instant word finder at ScrabbleFinder.com uses the TWL word list, the official scrabble dictionary in the US and Canada.

New Scrabble Words in the International Dictionary

Harper Collins has released the list of newly available words in the International Scrabble Dictionary (SOWPODS). It's not going to change much for North American players, but they're worth taking note of. It's amazing how language changes over time. Our Scrabble Cheat uses the TWL (US American dictionary) so these words don't appear in a search.

NEW PERMITTED SCRABBLE WORDS
From The Digital World
The new words from the field of computing include WIKI, BLOOK (a book serialised on a blog roll), BADWARE, FANSITE, WEBZINE and DARKNET, while the already valid BLOG is now accompanied by SPLOG and VLOG. New verbs from the world of computing include, PHARM, SCROBBLE, FACEBOOK, and MYSPACE.
From Overseas
As far as arrivals from overseas go, the star of the show is undoubtedly QIN, a kind of Chinese zither, which according to computer simulation is likely to become one of the most played words in Scrabble, alongside the already allowed QI (one’s life force). Japanese gives us WAGYU, a breed of beef cattle, and KOGAL, a young woman noted for her busy social life and purchase of expensive designer clothing. New words from Indian cookery include KEEMA, a kind of minced beef, ALU (or ALOO), a potato and GOBI, a cauliflower. Previously many Scrabble players would have been caught out by attempting to play such words familiar to them from their local Indian takeaway menu. Kenya contributes BENGA, a kind of popular music, while the increasing role of Islam in world affairs is reflected in many new words relating to that religion: UMMA, UMRA, FIQH, MEDRESA, IBADAH, SHAHID, TASBIH, NIKAH.
A New U-less Q-word!
Although it’s nice to have another U-less Q word, players may well find that FIQH refused to make frequent appearances on the board because of the low probability of having the QFH together and the fact that the over-familiarity with QI may cause a superior FIQH play to be overlooked.
Straight from the Street
Those who pride themselves on being up to date with the word on the street will be pleased to know that the Scrabble lexicon now includes THANG, INNIT, NANG, PUNAANY, BREDREN, BIACH, BLINGY, GRRL (or GRRRL) and several words for various kinds of drug: TIK, GAK, TINA.
Finally Allowed…
Those who in the past may have fallen foul of certain well-known 'phoneys' – words which seem entirely reasonable but which are not in fact acceptable according to the official list – will rejoice to learn that it will now be acceptable to play AIRGUN, HEATWAVE, PUSHBIKE, INBOX, TWIGLET, STRIM and CATFLAP.

Supermarket Scrabble

Has anyone seen the latest meme going around? Supermarket Scrabble is when you walk into a supermarket and rearrange the packages on the spice rack to spell out something something... well, usually pretty offensive. Hey, everyone gets bored while shopping right?

I'm not sure if it'll do any good, but perhaps our word finder can help you somehow!

How to Cheat at Scrabble!

We've put together an article on how to bend the rules of scrabble to your advantage in our article on Unethical tactics for Scrabble. It's a tongue-in-cheek look at how you can drive your opponents crazy while racking up the points!

Over the holiday period we've revamped some of our letter pages, and added word definitions and ways to generate words that start with, end with, or contain a series of letters - for example: words that start with za. We're continually adding new features to the site, check back for more updates!
