Frequently Asked Questions

Which languages are supported?

North American English, International English, French, German, and Spanish. A word can be valid in one of these and not another, and the results show each one separately.

Why is a word valid in one context but not another?

Word-game dictionaries differ by region and by which word list a group of players uses. Word Checker shows each context's status directly rather than a single yes/no answer.

Can I use this for word games?

Yes. Word Checker is built for verifying plays in Scrabble-style word games and settling disputes over whether a word is allowed.

Do you provide word definitions?

Not directly on this page. Open a word's own page (linked from every result) for its definition, anagrams, extensions, and related words.

How is the score calculated?

The score shown is the base tile score, the letters' point values added together. It doesn't include board bonuses like premium squares, which depend on where the word is played.

Search by constraint

Need a more specific search?

Word Checker confirms whether one specific word is valid. Need to discover new words instead, by length, pattern, or letter position? Advanced Search is built for that.

  • Wildcard and pattern matching
  • Starts with / ends with / contains filters
  • Exact letter position search

Example

Need a 6-letter word ending in S? Add the length and ending filters and Advanced Search narrows the results instantly.

Length: 6Ends with: S
