Soon you’ll see a list of words which may be used on the Scrabble board:
“onyx”, for example. And if you use the blank piece: “oryxes”. Big points,
big points!
Crosswords is also great if that triple-word-score is sitting within striking
distance and you’re not sure if you can take advantage of it. Just type in
the letters which appear on your letter tray and add the letter(s) from the
board. Crosswords will let you know whether a valid word can be ob-
tained.
For example, suppose that the triple-word-score space is five squares
away from the letter “n.” The letters on your letter tray are “x, e, o, l, i, t, h.”
Type all eight letters into Crosswords. Press . Set the “Min size:” at
6. Press .
As scroll through the list, you note that “neolith” will get you to the triple-
word-score square.

The Jumble key is also great for solving riddles, such as the following:
“Speeches made out of oats and iron.”
Type in
oatsiron (no space between the words). Press . Set the
minimum word size to 8 (the number of letters you typed-in) and press
.
The word “orations” appears on the screen! The riddle is solved.
NOTE: Since Crosswords is also for crossword puzzles, many of the
words you see will not be valid Scrabble words. For instance, there are
many proper names, abbreviations and acronyms.
