An essential part of the game is to proof the validity of placed words. This can be achieved by a dictionary with sufficient entries. Additionally, the computer will find a word by pieces only with access to a proper dictionary.

Dictionaries have been provided by the community for a couple of languages. The English dictionary contains the TWL06 word list as well as the Collins Scrabble Words (SOWPODS). You can switch off this [[Configuration:Categories|category]] easily for tournaments according the US standards. All entries of the English dictionary have a short description like 'SNAFU: to cause confusion'.

Dictionaries may contain as well special characters like English phonetics or math. The latter consists of formulas like 1+1=2 and your tiles are 1,2,3,+ etc.

Changes to the dictionary become immediately effective also for running games.

== Installation ==
The installation is as easy as possible. The dialog lists all available dictionaries (the list is refreshed on every [[Configuration:Autoupdate|check on updates]]). Files are hosted on Sourceforge.net and can be downloaded freely. Just double click an item or use the 'Load' button. If a file is not yet locally available you have to confirm the download. Local files are recognized by a version number. It is possible to delete local files via the trash icon.

Information about the dictionary is shown below the list: version number, release data, and author, number of words total and active depended on categories, licence, copyright, and comments. Categories are directly linked to the 'advanced page'.
