Scrabble Help

The Best Scrabble Helpers
If you’re looking for Scrabble Help during your online Scrabble games, then you probably want to find a Scrabble wordfinder website. These sites offer programs that spit out word lists from letter combinations you plug into the program.
Generally speaking, you’ll want to post in the Scrabble help box the letter you have on your tile holder, as well as perhaps the letter you’re hoping to play off of. You can find Scrabble wordfinders that let you program in the first or last letter of a word, to narrow down the number of words the word finder will create.
But the basic idea is to give you as many words as possible to play, so you understand the maximum potential of the letter combination you hold and have the widest possible number of options at your disposal.
So if you have a Scrabble hand of “A-C-H-I-P-T-W”, you might get a list of words of 5-letter and 4-letter words that looks like the following.
- Haptic
- Phatic
- Patch
- Pitch
- Watch
- Witch
- Chap
- Chat
- Chaw
- Chia
- Chip
- Chit
- Itch
- Pact
- Path
- Phat
- Pith
- Whaw
- Wait
- What
- Whip
- Whit
- With
If you were in a pinch at the end of the game and needed to start fitting letters into tight spot, your Scrabble helper would offer 3-letter and 2-letter words like the following.
- Act
- Apt
- Cap
- Cat
- Caw
- Hat
- Haw
- Hic
- Hip
- Hit
- Ich
- Pat
- Paw
- Pit
- Tap
- Tip
- Wap
- Wha
- Wit
- Ah
- At
- Aw
- Ha
- Hi
- It
- Pa
- Pi
- Ta
As you can see, Scrabble word finders are a huge boon to online Scrabble players, because they are going to offer you ideas you couldn’t possibly consider in a limited amount of time. The question, of course, is whether getting Scrabble help for you Internet contests is legal or, barring in the abscence of a Scrabble rule against the practice, “fair”.
Lexulous Scrabble Site
We’ve discussed before that most people playing on online word game sites like “Lexulous” are using some kind of Scrabble word helper in their online games. It should be noted, by the way, that Lexulous used to be the Scrabble site “Scrabulous”, before Hasbro threatened to sue for infringement. Hasbro wants no one playing Scrabble unless they get a cut of the action. Fair enough, I suppose, but Scrabulous brought me a lot of entertainment.
The fact is, if you’re playing word games online, somebody is probably using a word program in the competition. It’s impossible to prove they don’t have something helping them at Scrabble, so it’s probably smart for you to be helped by a similar program, unless you’re a glutton.
If you don’t want to get Scrabble help, it’s probably best you join a local Scrabble club that meets live for gaming sessions, or you attend Scrabble tournaments to compete without a safety net. Or if you think you can go on the honor system, find some online Scrabble friends and enjoy yourself.
Online Scrabble Helpers
Those wanting to know about online Scrabble helping sites should read our post called “Scrabble Cheat“. That page covers the discussion pretty well, while giving you links to 6 different websites that offer Scrabble solver programs. Each of the links comes with a brief review, so you’ll have some idea which site is the most helpful in your Scrabble situation.
Official Scrabble Dictionaries
If you want to learn about official Scrabble word lists that you can study to help you improve your Scrabble skills, we also have a page on the official Scrabble dictionary situation. Strangely, there are two camps which dispute the exact official word list, between America/Canada/Thailand and the rest of the world, though the actual word lists are pretty similar.
In either cases, if you want help winning Scrabble or improving your word game prowess, these are two options for getting some Scrabble help.
