Word Game Helper (SOWPODS)

Word Game Helper is the ideal tool for players of Scrabble and other word games. It can help you (or a weaker opponent) cheat, discover new words, or just act as a reference.

** Word Game Helper is entirely self contained and does not require an internet connection to work.

Word Finder - Enter any combination of letters and blanks to see all the words they can make, from 15 letter words all the way down to the 2 letter words. For example, given the letters "abcdefg" and 2 blanks, the application will calculate all possible combinations of those letters with the blanks, and return the words that can be made (such as "boldface", "feedback"... see more in the screenshots)

Hooks - Find all the front and end hooks for a word (hooks are the letters or words you can add to an existing word to make a new word)

Crossword Helper - Enter the letters you have using ? for the blanks, and see the words that could fit

Browse - Browse all of the 2 to 15 letters of the set

Anagrams - View the anagrams for a word

Google It - Quickly google any word
