Scrabble Cheater uses a trie traversal algorithm to compute the top scoring plays in Words with Friends and Scrabble. To display words to users, we connected a Flask API to a React frontend via websockets. The application can be used at https://wordswithfiends.com. We only support English games at the moment, but we will soon offer support for additional languages, beginning with French and Spanish.
