Learning words for a game you love shouldn’t feel like studying. Practicing words for Scrabble has never been this easy. The complex process known to elite tournament players as “word study” is now as simple as tapping around on your phone. There’s no need to compile word lists, make flashcards, or learn how to use complex desktop applications. All you need to do is practice words in the little bits of extra time you have throughout the day. Whether you're a top-level tournament player or you just want to beat grandma at Sunday game night, LEX Word Practice makes learning words for Scrabble casual, easy and fun. • Practice anagrams, patterns and hooks in a quick and simple flashcard flow. • Words you miss cycle back at different intervals to help you learn them quickly. • Spaced repetition helps you learn and remember words over time. • Curated decks prioritize the most strategically valuable words—shorter words with scoring tiles and longer words with high tile draw probability. • Top English-language tournament dictionaries come built in — NWL23, NSWL23, WOW24 and CSW24. • Stats track progress to show you how well you know each word group.
