The app is lagging years behind having not been updated since 2018. Please update with new words added in 2022 and coming in 2026. ### 2/5 — Needs to be updated *2026-01-02, version 2.0.7* Needs to be updated to the current print version of MW Official Scrabble dictionary 7. Either update this app or offer a new edition 7. They could charge for a new version, just like buying a new dictionary. ### 3/5 — Scrabble Dictionary *2025-11-25, version 2.0.7* Not sure it has actually been updated. Kori and kora are not in the dictionary but are accepted and defined in the scrabble go game. ### 3/5 — Missing Fahrenheit *2025-01-09, version 2.0.7* Missing the word Fahrenheit ### 2/5 — Out of date *2025-01-04, version 2.0.7* Why wouldn't Mariam-Webster keep this current, reflecting OSPD7? ### 3/5 — Update!!! *2024-08-27, version 2.0.7* Please update this app, it can’t be too hard! ### 2/5 — Needs to be updated *2024-02-09, version 2.0.7* Needs to be updated to the current print version of MW Official Scrabble dictionary. Seems like updating an app would be easier. They could charge for a new version. Just like a new dictionary. ### 3/5 — Why no update? *2023-11-15, version 2.0.7* The paperback is updated regularly. Why isnt this since 2018? 2014? Works fine otherwise. ### 2/5 — Update this app *2023-09-01, version 2.0.7* This app needs to be updated… ### 2/5 — 2014 dictionary, not current *2023-02-03, version 2.0.7* Needs updating ### 3/5 — App Fix Suggestions *2022-05-25, version 2.0.7* 1) Change keyboard to QWERTY! 2) Add a clear or reset button after you click “Find Words” so you don’t have to click edit each time! The. THIS WOULD MAKE IT 5 STARS!!! ### 4/5 — Great app, a few minor suggestions *2021-01-30, version 2.0.7* This really a wonderful app, but two small suggestions. First, most of the time I open this app, I go to word finder. It would be great if the app would either remember the last state, or if the default functionality (when the app opens) could be changed in the settings. Second, though the words are generally up to date I do occasionally come across legitimate words which are not included in the engine. The most recent one I can think of is velcro. I will grant you that this is also a trade name, but it also refers to a type of fabric fastener for which there is no other word. Forget the trade name. It has now entered the lexicon of day to day conversation... not as a verb, but as a noun. I think I also read that as of last year, it was now accepted as a word in scrabble, so why doesn’t the scrabble dictionary here include it? ### 2/5 — Update Needed! *2020-11-03, version 2.0.7* It doesn’t keep what I’ve entered when I return from Scrabble Game as it had before. It’s now continually malfunctioning. I’m no longer a fan until they fix that with an update. I’ll cross my fingers that that’ll happen soon. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Missing all functionality of paper copy. *2020-06-27, version 2.0.7* This app blows. $4.99 and you can’t even browse the dictionary! I was expecting to be able to read through the list of words like the paper copy of Scrabble dictionary and learn new words and their definitions. Also, it is missing the section of two letter words. You can only look up words with the search function. ### 3/5 — Family Sharing *2020-06-23, version 2.0.7* I recently got a Scrabble Dictionary app on my iPhone but not able to share it to my wife’s iPhone. That’s one reason I bought it. I read that there’s a Family Sharing, so why I am not able to do so? I emailed you but I was told I am not recognized. Trying to reach you seemed complicated. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — How to use this app. *2026-02-04, version 2.0.7* Hi, I downloaded this app thinking I’ll be given a word to scrabble but it isn’t so. What do I do? ### 1/5 — Not updated *2024-12-25, version 2.0.7* Look up the first word in an actual Scrabble Dictionary, “aa” - not found in this garbage app. Need to be updated or is worthless!! ### 1/5 — Word list is out of date *2023-08-06, version 2.0.7* Really? How hard is it to update the word list? ### 1/5 — No update in 4 years?!! *2023-01-14, version 2.0.7* Title says it all! ### 1/5 — So outdated *2022-12-06, version 2.0.7* Hasn’t been updated in more than 4 years💔 ### 1/5 — Outdated App *2022-11-20, version 2.0.7* This app is based on the 5th edition of the dictionary which is now two editions old. ### 1/5 — Fraudulent *2021-12-22, version 2.0.7* Does not include all words without a ~$20/year third party subscription, unless you already are a professional scrabble player with a tournament membership. Useless app, I want a refund. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2021-10-20, version 2.0.7* I wanted the equivalent of the paper version, which I can browse. The description says there is a scrolling index that lets you do that, but I can’t find it. Also, this is out of date, so it is a rip-off. Where is the sixth edition? I think I should get a free upgrade when it comes out. ### 1/5 — Is AA is an official Scrabble word? *2020-12-12, version 2.0.7* I looked up the word on the official Scrabble website. AA is a word, but it doesn't show up as a allowable word in the app. The app is painful. ### 1/5 — Useful for my work *2020-11-07, version 2.0.7* Use it for homework ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A great tool for family fun *2026-03-29, version 2.0.7* I love games and scrabble is at the top of my list. This is a great tool to carry with you for impromptu games of scrabble without having to dig up a dictionary to keep your in law’s honest. ### 5/5 — Best way to help with words *2025-05-24, version 2.0.7* I’m only 9 years old and I love to play scrabble and with this app helps me.Ex:I search up dag it is a hanging end or shred ### 5/5 — Recommended. *2023-11-16, version 2.0.7* Works well on iPhone as of November 2023. Quick, clear and easy to use. No problems encountered. ### 5/5 — Very Useful *2022-09-01, version 2.0.7* I use this app almost daily playing Word games. It is also very handy to have open when I play Scrabble with others to verify spellings. Definitely an update needed, last one in 2018. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2022-08-22, version 2.0.7* Great app! ### 5/5 — Perfect for checking words while playing Scrabble *2018-10-05, version 2.0.6* This is the dictionary I use when I want to see if a word that has been played is indeed a word. I simply type it into the lookup bar and it tells me immediately if it’s a word or not. If it is, I can then easily go to it’s definition. Now that Merrimack Webster has put out a sixth edition I had to purchase the Kindle version. And it’s awful. It takes way too long to find a word. Please please please update this app soon. I paid $10 for the Kindle dictionary. I’d gladly pay you for the app which is so much more suited to my needs. ### 5/5 — Not all TWL words are included *2017-10-28, version 2.0.6* Kleenex is good in TWL but not here ### 5/5 — Please update for iOS 11 *2017-09-18, version 2.0.5* I'll miss this app if it stops working when I upgrade in a few days. And rating will go to 0 stars. ### 5/5 — Love it, needs update *2017-08-27, version 2.0.5* I use it all the time, but now getting message that it won't work with IOS 11😢 ### 5/5 — Scrabble Dictionary *2017-03-29* Love the app. I only wish that the developer would update it so that I don't get a message saying the app slows down my phone. I find the app helpful for all kinds of words and use it when playing Scrabble and learning new words in books I am reading. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
