Collins Scrabble Checker

My Absolute Favourite Thing... enter your word, hit check... How simple is that? :)

Chambers Word Wizard

This is a hugely useful resource. I like the Solver tool best. Really cool for Crossworders!

Use the Chambers Word Wizard to:

complete awkward solutions in a crossword grid; if you know some of the letters, simply use ? in place of the missing letters, ie CR???W??D
find out if a word has any anagrams
find out if a word is allowable for Scrabble®

Collins Online Dictionary

An older version of Collins Online Dictionary, unfortunately, but not entirely without use :)

Just a note when using these tools. Australia and the UK use the SOWPODS wordlist. It is not polite to use anagram generators when playing in friendly (or unfriendly!) competition, except by agreement between the parties. And where would be the challenge to yourself if you did...?

Quality Online Puzzles

By far the best online Sudoku to be had is Web Sudoku, where you can choose options to enable more than one number in a square while you are working it out. Choose difficulty from Easy, Medium, Hard and Evil. Jigsaw Sudoku is fun and appeals to all ages with drag-and-drop in colour. Visit options to choose difficulty from 4x4 easy grid up to 9x9 hard grid. The Chambers Online Sudoku is OK but not as many features as Web Sudoku. Mahjong Dragon offers Chinese or Japanese MahJong, or MahJong Connect (addictive!). Find out about Dragons, too :-)
