Terms And Conditions

Last updated: 2 September 2026

1. About These Terms

These Terms & Conditions govern your use of ScrabbleWordFinder.uk, including our Scrabble Word Finder, Word Checker, dictionary pages, word information and other content or tools made available through the website.

By using ScrabbleWordFinder.uk, you agree to use the website in accordance with these Terms.

If you do not agree with these Terms, please stop using the website.

ScrabbleWordFinder.uk is provided as an independent word-finding and reference resource.

2. About Our Website

ScrabbleWordFinder.uk provides tools and information intended to help users:

  • find words that can be formed from selected letters;
  • check words against supported word lists;
  • calculate or compare word scores;
  • view definitions and parts of speech where available; and
  • access other word-game information and resources.

The website currently supports different word datasets, which may include SOWPODS, TWL and ENABLE.

Definitions and lexical information may also be provided using Princeton WordNet.

Different word lists can contain different words. Results may therefore vary depending on the dataset selected.

3. UK and Other Word Lists

ScrabbleWordFinder.uk is primarily designed with UK Scrabble players in mind, but our tools may allow users to select different word lists.

The availability of a word in one dataset does not necessarily mean that it is valid in another.

For example, UK/international and North American Scrabble word lists may differ.

Users should therefore check which word list is selected when using the Word Finder or Word Checker.

4. Word Validity and Accuracy

We aim to make our word data, scoring information and other results as accurate and useful as reasonably possible.

However, we do not guarantee that:

  • every word list is completely error-free;
  • every dataset represents the latest edition of a particular dictionary;
  • every definition is available;
  • all scores or lexical information will always be correct;
  • every tool will return the result expected by a particular game, tournament or organisation; or
  • information on the website will always remain unchanged.

Word-game rules and accepted word lists may vary by country, edition, platform or competition.

For official tournament play or disputes, users should consult the rules and word list specified by the relevant tournament organiser or authorised game provider.

If you believe that a result is incorrect, please contact us using the details on our Contact Us page.

5. Scrabble Scores

Where Scrabble scores are displayed, they are calculated using the letter values implemented by our software.

Actual game scores can depend on additional factors, including:

  • board position;
  • double-letter or triple-letter squares;
  • double-word or triple-word squares;
  • existing tiles on the board;
  • blank tiles; and
  • bonuses such as playing all seven rack tiles.

A score shown for an isolated word should therefore not automatically be interpreted as the exact score that would be earned during a particular game.

6. Definitions and WordNet

Some dictionary pages may display definitions, parts of speech or other lexical information derived from Princeton WordNet.

WordNet information is provided for reference purposes.

A word having a WordNet definition does not automatically mean that the word is valid in Scrabble or another word game.

Likewise, the absence of a WordNet definition does not automatically mean that a word is invalid in a supported game dictionary.

Gameplay validity and lexical definitions are separate functions of the website.

7. Permitted Use

You may use ScrabbleWordFinder.uk for lawful personal, educational and recreational purposes.

You must not use the website in a way that:

  • breaks applicable law;
  • interferes with the operation or security of the website;
  • attempts to gain unauthorised access to our systems;
  • introduces malware, malicious code or harmful requests;
  • intentionally overloads the website or its infrastructure;
  • bypasses security, rate-limiting or access controls;
  • impersonates ScrabbleWordFinder.uk or falsely claims affiliation with us; or
  • infringes the rights of another person or organisation.

Normal use of the Word Finder, Word Checker and public pages is permitted.

8. Automated Access and Scraping

Automated systems must not place an unreasonable load on ScrabbleWordFinder.uk or interfere with normal access for other users.

We may restrict or block automated activity where reasonably necessary to:

  • protect website availability;
  • prevent abuse;
  • protect our infrastructure;
  • prevent excessive automated requests; or
  • maintain the quality of the service for users.

Search engines and other legitimate crawlers may access the website subject to our technical controls, including robots directives where applicable.

9. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the website’s original:

  • design;
  • branding;
  • software;
  • layout;
  • graphics;
  • written content; and
  • other original material created for ScrabbleWordFinder.uk

are protected by applicable intellectual property law.

Third-party datasets, trademarks, definitions and other third-party materials remain the property of their respective owners and are not claimed by ScrabbleWordFinder.uk merely because they may be used or referenced on the website.

You may link to public pages on ScrabbleWordFinder.uk.

You must not represent our website, branding or original content as your own.

10. SCRABBLE Trademark

SCRABBLE® is a registered trademark of its respective owners.

ScrabbleWordFinder.uk is an independent word-finding and reference website.

We are not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by or operated by the owners of the SCRABBLE® trademark, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

References to Scrabble are used to describe the word game and the intended purpose of relevant tools.

11. Advertising

ScrabbleWordFinder.uk may display advertising provided by third parties, including Google AdSense.

The appearance of an advertisement on our website does not necessarily mean that we:

  • recommend the advertiser;
  • endorse the advertised product or service; or
  • have independently verified claims made in the advertisement.

Your interaction with an advertiser or third-party service is between you and that third party.

Advertising and related data processing are also subject to our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

The website may contain links to third-party websites or resources.

We provide such links for convenience or reference.

We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their:

  • content;
  • availability;
  • security;
  • privacy practices;
  • products;
  • services; or
  • accuracy.

You should review the applicable terms and privacy policies when visiting external websites.

13. Website Availability

We aim to keep ScrabbleWordFinder.uk available and functioning properly.

However, we do not guarantee uninterrupted access.

The website may occasionally be unavailable because of:

  • maintenance;
  • updates;
  • hosting problems;
  • security incidents;
  • technical failures;
  • third-party service failures; or
  • circumstances outside our reasonable control.

We may modify, improve, remove or replace website features where reasonably necessary.

Because the website currently provides its main tools free of charge, we do not guarantee that every feature will remain permanently available in exactly its current form.

14. Limitation of Liability

ScrabbleWordFinder.uk is provided primarily as a free word-game and reference resource.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for loss or damage arising solely from:

  • reliance on an incorrect word result;
  • differences between word lists;
  • unavailable or incomplete definitions;
  • calculated game scores that differ from scores obtained during actual gameplay;
  • temporary website unavailability; or
  • the content or actions of third-party websites or advertisers.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so.

In particular, nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude liability that cannot legally be excluded under applicable consumer or other law.

That last paragraph is important. UK guidance specifically warns businesses that some attempts to disclaim liability may be unenforceable, and written consumer terms must remain fair and transparent.

15. Privacy and Cookies

Your use of ScrabbleWordFinder.uk is also subject to our:

  • Privacy Policy; and
  • Cookie Policy.

Those pages explain how information may be processed and how technologies such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Google AdSense and Cloudflare may be used.

16. Changes to the Website

We may update the website over time, including:

  • adding new word tools;
  • improving existing features;
  • updating word datasets;
  • changing page layouts;
  • correcting errors;
  • introducing new resources; or
  • retiring features that are no longer useful or practical.

Where changes materially affect how personal information is handled, the relevant privacy information will also be updated.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms when reasonably necessary to reflect:

  • changes to the website;
  • changes to our tools or services;
  • legal or regulatory requirements;
  • security requirements; or
  • changes in how the website operates.

The Last updated date at the top of this page will show when these Terms were most recently revised.

Continued use of the website after revised Terms are published means that the latest Terms will apply to future use of the website, subject to any rights you may have under applicable law.

18. Severability

If a court or other competent authority determines that part of these Terms is unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply as far as legally possible.
