Check one word against Xfire's broader English corpus and a stricter public-domain board-word dictionary. This is a quick Xfire corpus comparison, not a Scrabble, NASPA, or tournament-legality ruling.
Enter one word to see whether it appears in Xfire's broader word list, the stricter board-word list, or both. It is a quick reality check when you want to sanity-check a spelling before spending more time on it.
SCOWL 80 (en_US); 2026.02.25; Xfire list built 2026-04-11T02:30:58.877Z; 184,413 words.

Not found here means absent from these two snapshots, not invalid English or an official game rejection.
Check one spelling against two different word lists. The broader English list is better for clue solving and general browsing. The stricter board-word list is better when you want a quicker signal on whether a word looks more at home in rack-based play.
JAZZ
A word that appears in both dictionaries.
ADIEUX
A spelling that lands only in the stricter board-word list here.
EMOJI
A spelling that shows up in broad English but not the stricter board-word list.

Quick answers about the checker, the two dictionaries, and what the result does or does not confirm.
No. The checker compares Xfire's broad English corpus with a stricter public-domain board-word dictionary. It does not use NASPA, NWL, TWL, or any official Scrabble tournament list, and exact official acceptance still depends on the game and dictionary you are playing.
The broad English corpus is wider and better for clue solving. The board-word dictionary is stricter and more useful for casual rack play. Because they are built from different independent public word sources, some words land in one list but not the other.
This page is built for quick yes-no dictionary checks on one spelling. If you need to build words from letters instead, switch to the anagram solver or the broader Word Lists pages.
