Scrabble Word Generator

Everyone who has ever played the crossword game Scrabble has most likely come to a point where he was at a loss of what to do with his letters, which is why the Scrabble word generator was born. This tool lets people plug in the letters they have left to use and see what words they can make to stay in the game.

Drawing a blank on what to play?

While official Scrabble rules do not sanction the use of such generators during game play, they are good for practice and for noncompetitive play.

Start at your computer. There are several websites that have free generators available.

• WinEveryGame.com has a Scrabble word generator called Quick Word Builder. It lets the user type in up to 12 letters, including typing in question marks to represent blank tiles. There is also an option to say what one or more letters the word has to start or end with.
• A2zWordFinder has three word generators where the user types in the letters on his or her rack and the letters on the board he or she would like to use. Each generator delivers results ranked by the number of points they are worth. There is an American dictionary, a British dictionary and an international dictionary edition.
• Hasbro, the manufacturer of Scrabble, offers a word builder on its website. It is a simple one where a person enters the letters he or she can use and clicks on Go. This one is different from the others in that it provides not only the word but the part of speech and the definition.

Those who want more in depth help can download Scrabble word generator software, such as these programs:

• Motamo – This software allows advanced searches, including looking for specific word patterns, choosing letters to include or not include and requesting an exact number of letters in the results. It is compatible with Windows.
• Scrabb – This software helps the Scrabble player who wants to increase his or her scores. It will present the highest value word available for play and help the player determine if his or her opponent’s words are legal.
• Word Maestro – While not specifically a Scrabble tool, this software has an anagram solver that can help players switch the order of their letters to help them see where they can fit into slots available on the board.

Before downloading any software off the Web, it's absolutely imperative to have up to date antivirus software installed. It is difficult to tell if a download has spyware or viruses attached to it, especially if it is from an unfamiliar source. Those who are worried can always stick to the instant generators to mitigate any risk.

There are also some low tech options available to help people come up with words to play. Most notably, there are several books on the market, including:

• The Scrabble Word-Building Book by Saleem Ahmed
• The Official Scrabble Word-Finder by Robert W. Schachner
• The Official Scrabble Puzzle Book by Joe Edley.

Each of these books contains lists of words to use in Scrabble, including two letter words and high scoring words. Those with good memorization skills could soon find themselves coming out ahead with very little effort.

People who regularly find themselves stumped when playing Scrabble should also remember that there is an option to exchange tiles in the hopes of getting letters that are more playable. While a person will lose a turn for doing so, it is often worth it score-wise to do so in the long run.
