Scrabble Word Checker

Scrabble word checker is an online tool made by wordchecker.io for finding valid words to play in Scrabble.

It lets you enter any word or collection of letters and will search the Scrabble game dictionary for matching entries.

As per the Scrabble game rules, it is acceptable to verify the validity of words in a dictionary when one player challenges another player’s word/turn. Hence, it is okay to use a word checker/word solver for this purpose.

Before you begin playing, you should collectively agree on a word checker or dictionary to use during your game. This avoids any arguments later where dictionaries or online word checkers may vary in output.

Alternatively, if you’re playing Scrabble casually, you could use alternative game rules which allow players to use a word checker to find words freely. This can be helpful if you’re new to the game or English language.

When you enter a word into the checker and click the “CHECK” button, we search for that word in a database of over 280,000 valid words which can be played in Scrabble.

We’ll let you know if the word is valid or invalid to play based on the game dictionary. Additionally, we calculate the word score, give a word definition, and find similar nearby words for your information.

The minimum length is 2 characters, and the maximum length is 15 characters.

These word lengths stem from the official Scrabble dictionaries and game rules, which only allow words between 2 to 15 characters in length. Any words shorter or longer than this would be invalid to play in Scrabble.

Yes, it is possible to use this word checker for other word games or uses.

Whilst the word list is based on the Scrabble dictionary, it has some crossovers with similar games like Words With Friends. It can also be used in a more general context, such as simply checking if a word is valid in English or fetching word definitions.
