## Description

Word Finder helps you quickly locate valid words for popular tile-based word games like Scrabble, Words With Friends, and Lexulous. Enter your rack tiles (including blanks) and see all possible words, ranked by score or length. You can also paste or select an existing board word to discover attachments—words that can be played alongside, across, or between multiple words—and explore extensions, crossings, and fit options. The search works offline, so you can plan your moves without an internet connection.

Built-in dictionary lookup lets you view definitions from your device or search online. It supports multiple dictionaries (WWF, USA MW 2018/2014/2006, TWL18/16/14/06, SSWL18/16, CSW19/15/12/07, Minimal, Lexulous US/UK) and provides a word validity checker. Word Finder is a helper app for popular word games and is not affiliated with the makers of Scrabble.
