This is an auxiliary function. You may want to use scrabble_words
directly if you are searching for the highest score words!
Get score for any word or list of words. You may set manually depending on the rules and languages you are playing with. Check the examples for Spanish and English values when I played Words With Friends.
Dataframe for every letter and points given a language.
Find highest score words given a set of letters, rules, and language to win at Scrabble! You just have to find the best place to post your tiles.

scrabble_dictionary(lang_dic, quiet = FALSE)

scrabble_words(
tiles = "",
free = 0,
force_start = "",
force_end = "",
force_str = "",
force_exclude = "",
exclude_here = "",
force_n = 0,
force_max = 0,
language = Sys.getenv("LARES_LANG"),
scores = language,
words = NULL,
quiet = FALSE,
print = TRUE
)Arguments
- lang_dic
Character. Any of "en","es","de","fr". Set to NULL if you wish to skip this step (and use
wordsparameter inscrabble_wordsinstead).- quiet

Dataframe. Must contain two columns: "tiles" with every letter of the alphabet and "scores" for each letter's score.
- lang
Character. Any of "en","es". Set to NULL if you wish to skip this step (and use

Integer. How many free blank tiles you have?
- force_start, force_end
Character. Force words to start or end with a pattern of letters and position. Examples: "S" or "SO" or "__S_O"... If the string contains tiles that were not specified in
tiles, they will automatically be included.- force_str
Character vector. Force words to contain strings. If the string contains tiles that were not specified in
tiles, they will automatically be included.- force_exclude, exclude_here
Character vector. Exclude words containing these tiles (and positions). Not very relevant on Scrabble but for Wordle.
