Scrabble Helper
From LoveToKnow BoardGames
Scrabble Helper was developed by Word Games Central as a fun application for the iPhone. It is a very helpful, super convenient, and super easy way to find words to add to the Scrabble board whether you are playing Scrabble online or on a traditional Scrabble board.
Scrabble Helper: Features
This easy-to-use iPhone application is designed to help you find winning Scrabble words in two ways.
- Find words - It can help you find words using your unplayed Scrabble tiles and show you uses for your tiles to work with the tiles that are already on the board.
- Build special words - You can easily find specific word combinations, like Scrabble words ending in U, and get tips on building words from letters in specific positions. For example, you will be able to find:
- Words that begin with certain letters
- Words that end with certain letters
- Words that include certain letters within the words
Blank Tile Feature
Scrabble Helper lets you enter blank tiles. This is particularly helpful if you draw a blank tile, and you want to decide what letter combination would be the best use for the blank tile. Or, you can use this blank tile feature to decide where to hook your available tiles onto an established word on the board. Just enter the letters in your rack plus a blank. Scrabble Helper will tell you the words which can be constructed from the letters, allowing you to decide where you want to hook your available tiles.
All Tile Feature
Get a fast overview of the word possibilities from the tiles you have drawn. When you enter all of your tiles into Scrabble Helper you can see all the words which can be constructed from the letters in your rack.
Word Look Up
Not sure if Aunt Mary's latest play is an acceptable word? Scrabble Helper has an online dictionary. Just lookup any word and see if it can be used according to Scrabble rules.
Considering using a series of letters to form a word? Want to check if it's acceptable? Just enter the word into your iPhone and check out your options before you lay down your tiles.
