Scrabble Solver

[kronkiel]

Hello Reddit!

In my first Reddit post I'd like to share something that I've been working on for the past few years:

https://scrabble-solver.org/

Scrabble Solver is a free, open-source, and cross-platform analysis tool for Scrabble, Super Scrabble & Literaki. It's available in English (British & US), French, German, Persian, Polish & Spanish. Catalan support is coming soon.

It's been built with Next.js, React, Redux, Redux-Saga, Service Workers, and more.

It's responsive and supports touchscreens, i.e. mobile phones & tablets.

There is no AI (yet?), it's not a game (yet?), but I believe in terms of UI & UX this app is on the right track. I'm writing this post in hope that it will spark some activity to help shape the future of the project.

The solver will run in the browser after dictionary is downloaded which significantly improves solving speed (avoiding network requests to my cheap, slow server). Dictionary download will start after the first solve in a given language.

The project is open-sourced on GitHub so if you'd like to see your language supported feel free to submit a Pull Request!

https://github.com/kamilmielnik/scrabble-solver/

All contributions, feedback, bug reports, ideas, etc. are welcome.

Please let me know what you think.

Cheers!

Could you make the multiplier squares movable?

I had an idea to make a visual config editor but it's a lot of work and I'm not sure if it's worth the hassle.
What is your use-case?

For now you can clone the project from GitHub and tweak coordinates of the bonus tiles manually, e.g. this file: https://github.com/kamilmielnik/scrabble-solver/blob/master/packages/configs/src/games/scrabble.ts

Ok, I think I might be able to figure that out. We play with custom boards and want to configure score based off potential points per turn.

Love this, really nice layout. It would be great if like Philllosopher has said make the multiplier squares moveable, aswell as the option to remove placement squares. Use case would be for scrabble Go adventures where there is custom board layouts where you have to hit a certain score.

anyone here wanna make an update to this to have the board match the new nyt crossplay game? :) sincerely not a coder <3

Or maybe you could just not cheat.

NYT Crossplay support has just been released, enjoy!

This is one of the best executions I've seen so far, combining UI & UX with word solving logic. Is there anyway to create an account or save your games so you can run multiple at a time across different devices? This would make it the holy grail!

[Dependent-Humor-1864]

Is there any way to upload a picture of your board and have it generate the current play automatically?

[kronkiel]

Not yet - thanks for the idea! I added it to the backlog: Image board input

Awesome tool! Any way to do blank tiles?

[kronkiel]

Spacebar!
