Frequently Asked Questions
What dictionary does this use?
The same curated English word list used across draft21 word tools — covering common Scrabble and Words With Friends playable words, not every obscure tournament-only entry.
Are two-letter words included?
Yes. Short words like qi, za, and jo are in the list. See the Two Letter Word List for the full set.
Does it check spelling or just dictionary membership?
It checks whether the exact word appears in the dictionary. It does not suggest corrections for misspellings.
Is my word sent to a server?
No. The check runs entirely in your browser on draft21.
Can I check phrases?
Only single words work. Spaces and punctuation are removed, so new york becomes newyork, which is typically not listed.
Is this tool free on mobile?
Yes. The Scrabble Word Checker on draft21 is free, needs no account, and works on phones and tablets.
