Check Dictionary
Settle the argument. Check Dictionary tells you whether a word is valid, how many letters it has, and exactly how many points it's worth in both Scrabble and Wordfeud. Handy for challenging a dubious play or planning your next big move.
How to use Check Dictionary
This is your instant referee. Type a word and it tells you three things at once: whether the word is valid, how long it is, and how many points it's worth in both Scrabble and Wordfeud.
- Type the word you want to verify.
- Press Check (or hit Enter).
- Read the result: a green "valid word" badge or a red "not in dictionary" badge, plus the letter count and both tile scores side by side.

- Settle table disputes: end the "that's not a word!" argument on the spot.
- Pre-check risky plays: confirm a word is legal before you commit tiles and risk a challenge.
- Homework helper: a quick spell-check plus a letter count for young writers.
- Score comparison: weigh two candidate words and play the one worth more.
Pro tips & strategy
- Compare before you commit. When two words fit the same spot, the tile scores tell you which to play.
- Learn the heavy hitters. Q (10), Z (10), J (8) and X (8) turn short words into big scores.
- Looking for words to play, not checking one you already have? Use the Word Descrambler or Wordfeud Helper.
Did you know?
The score shown is the sum of the letters' tile values only. On a real board, premium squares can double or triple a letter — or the whole word — so a "cheap" word on a triple-word square can beat an expensive one played on plain tiles.

Frequently asked questions
Which dictionary do you use?
A built-in list of the ~57,000 most common English words. It's ideal for casual play but isn't the full tournament word list.
Why is a word marked invalid?
Either it's misspelled or it's too rare to be in the built-in dictionary — a handful of obscure words may be missing.
How is the score calculated?
By summing each letter's tile value using the standard Scrabble and Wordfeud point tables.
Why do Scrabble and Wordfeud scores differ?
The two games assign slightly different point values to some letters, so the same word can be worth different amounts.
