User Reviews

Users praise SCRABBLE Dictionary as a handy, easy-to-use on-the-go reference for quick word lookups and spelling verification during Scrabble and other word games. Many find it helpful for casual play and for verifying words in real time. However, a large portion of reviews criticize it for being out of date: the app relies on older dictionary editions and often misses or mislabels words that appear in current lists. There are also concerns about value and access, with comments about upfront cost and the need for subscription-based updates. Overall, it’s useful but unreliable for up-to-date, comprehensive word coverage.
Pros
  • Handy portable reference for quick word lookups during Scrabble and other word games.
  • Easy-to-use tool for verifying spellings and word existence in real time.
  • Useful across Scrabble, Boggle, and other word games, appealing to casual players and even kids.
Cons
  • Outdated word lists; not current with MW Official Scrabble Dictionary updates; last updates several years ago.
  • Incomplete or inaccurate word coverage; missing or incorrect words compared to official lists (e.g., AA, Velcro).
  • Pricing and access limitations; upfront cost with perceived limited access and subscription requirements for full word lists.
Recent reviews
The official dictionary was updated in 2022 and will be again in 2026. The app is lagging years behind having not been updated since 2018. Please update with new words added in 2022 and coming in 2026.
