Zarf

Zarf is a multipurpose utility for Scrabble® players in any language. It provides word list lookup, pattern matching, tournament-style adjudication and a timer customized for tournament Scrabble® play.

Reference Free Gordon Dow iPhone, iPad, iPod

Use the Search panel to perform pattern matches, anagrams and builds to find legal words in one of five built-in word lists, or in word lists that you can download to your device. Tap on a word in the word list to bring up a list of hooks or look up the word's definition on the internet.

Clabberware does not provide downloadable word lists, but they're easy for third parties to publish, and they can be found with a little web-searching.

The Judge panel can be used to adjudicate tournament-style challenges in Scrabble®. Enter one or more words and the play will be ruled acceptable or unacceptable.

The Clock panel displays a digital countdown timer ideal for Scrabble® use. An indicator lights up when courtesy hold time has expired, as required in tournaments. Challenge buttons are available to automatically pause the timer and adjudicate in-game challenges.

Awesome app. Wouldn't play a word game without it.


Seems like a good app
Anti-(fill in the blank)

But- so hard to see it, it's hard to tell - is there a way to change to black on white?


A Great Tool for Scrabble and WwF

The game timer alone is worth downloading this app, and the word features are just fantastic. Simple, easy to use.


A must have for any Scrabble player
5-star

The word Building and clock make it the app worth it, by themselves. A powerful tool for the Scrabble player. Highly recommended.


Must have

If you play tournament-style scrabble, this is it, this is all you need. Great, great app. Now if only there was an isc.ro app, my life would be complete.


Good

It's the best for checking the sowpods for the iPad, but make sure you update your source for complete list together with the zyzyyva app...

One of the few word descramblers that has more than 7 letters, can compute blanks, and is FREE :)


Nice

Gives anagrams, pattern words, build words with letters, hooks! Also has inbuilt dictionaries, would have liked to have a game feature to play anagrams and build words, but a neat app - simple and free!!


Well done!
