Scrabble Dictionary Checker
Check a word, or a list of them. Valid words show their face value in Scrabble tiles.
Try the two-letter list for the words that come up most.
Why an approximate list is still useful
Because the words that decide games are not the marginal ones. The value of a solver is finding the parallel play that scores forty points using words you already know, not unearthing a word you would not dare play anyway. Disagreements at the edges rarely change which move is best; when they do, the next move down the list is usually within a few points.
The one place the difference bites is the very short words. Two- and three-letter words are where the official lists have grown most in recent years, and they are also the words that make parallel plays legal. If a play is refused in a real game, a two-letter cross word is the first thing to suspect — the two-letter list is the one worth checking against your own edition.

Common questions
How different is it really?
The two agree on the overwhelming majority of words and disagree at the edges: recent additions, some slang, and a handful of two- and three-letter words. In a normal game you will go many turns without meeting a difference.
Why was my word rejected?
Either it is not in this list, or it is spelled differently than you expect. Rejection here is not proof that the official dictionary would reject it, and acceptance here is not proof that it would accept it.
Can I check several words at once?
Yes. Type or paste them separated by spaces or commas and each is checked separately, with its face value in Scrabble tiles beside it.
