AJAX Scrabble

scrabble-alpha.png
I'm releasing today the first alpha of AJAX Scrabble. The game is at very early stages, using currently a dictionary of around 20'000 English words to find possible combinations, the reason why it's a little slow to start a new game but once started sessions will be used for intermediate processing.

If someone have a better idea to generate a list of possible solutions faster, it will be great so the current dictionary could be replaced with another one of 40'000 words. Notice that timer is client-side only, if you want some more time refresh the page before the timer finish and play again with the same letters, but please don't tell anyone that I told you this. Add in comments if you find another bug.

There is a very fast procedure for generating Scrabble moves called GADDAG. If you need only word checking, consider using DAWG.
