How to Create a Scrabble Word List

Pick a theme for your word list. Consider themes like words that can be anagrammed from a favorite word, words that end in a particular suffix, words based on letters from a difficult rack you faced recently, or words that feature high-value tiles in combination with various vowels and consonants.

Enter the letters that characterize your theme into a word generator. Use a web-based word generator or find a word-generator application for your computer or smartphone. The best word generators let you specify letter position, wild card characters, and the number of letters you want in each generated word.

Copy the generated words into a spreadsheet or text file. Combine results from different word generators into one file to create a single comprehensive list.

Sort the word list alphabetically and by word length. Many text editors and spreadsheet applications offer an option to eliminate duplicate words while they sort them.
