scarabeo

This is a simple brute force Scrabble game solver. For now it's only for italian version but it's very easy to add dicts for other languages.

Usage

Just pass your caret letters as first parameter then the letter you need to cross with your word as second parameter (may be also empty). It returns a rough list of (word, score) ordered tuples.
