Judycole: /* Four Square */ Corrected name

'''Software''' plays a major role in organized Scrabble activities.

[[NASPA]]'s [[Web Committee]] offers web hosting space to software developers
and works with them to develop standards.

The [[Technology Committee]] evaluates and certifies word judge software for use at tournaments and clubs.

NASPA also [[Licensing |licenses]] the [[NASPA Word List]] and [[School SCRABBLE Word List 2018 | NASPA School Word List]] for use by developers. Please
[[contact]] us if you would like to use our word list in your application.

Certification and licensing are separate processes; software may be either, neither, or both. Uncertified, unlicensed software is listed here only for information purposes, and not as an endorsement.

== Certified word judge software ==

NASPA recommends that [[tournaments]] and [[clubs]] use laptops running word adjudication software to process
challenges in competitive games. The following Software Self Lookup (SSL) programs were evaluated by the [[Technology Committee]] and are approved for use in club and tournament situations as noted below.

=== [[Zyzzyva | NASPA Zyzzyva]] ===
* '''Features''': anagramming, definitions, word judge, word study

* '''Notes''': used at all major events, including the [[National SCRABBLE Championship |NASPA Championship]], [[National School SCRABBLE Championship |National School Scrabble Championship]] and [[Canadian National SCRABBLE Championship|Canadian National Scrabble Championship]]. It has a very rich set of features, but most directors need some help at first learning to use its command-line interface.

Tournament venue

2026-09-29T19:40:11Z

Judycole: /* Scrabble Players Championship venues */ Added 2025 and 2026

[[NASPA]]-sanctioned [[tournament|tournaments]] are held in a wide range of '''tournament venues''' — hotel ballrooms, convention centers, community centers, church basements, restaurants, cruise ships, etc. — according to the needs of the players and directors.

== [[North American SCRABBLE Championship|Scrabble Players Championship]] venues ==

At the high end, a national event for 400–800 players would almost always be held in a hotel ballroom or convention center and be organized by NASPA staff. Such an event would usually be planned at least a year in advance based on in-house research, though unsolicited bids are welcome. [[Contact]] us for the current RFP.

We like to move our premier event, the [[North American SCRABBLE Championship|Scrabble Players Championship]] (in the past known variously as the National SCRABBLE Championship, Players Championship, or North America SCRABBLE Championship), around the country each year to bring it close to different members of our community. We are open to holding it in Canada, but have not yet done so.

The event was recently held in the following locations:

* 2026: Cedar Rapids, IA. Doubletree by Hilton Convention Complex.
* 2025: Live! Casino & Resort Maryland.
* 2024: South Bend, IN. Century Center.
* 2023: Las Vegas, NV. Westgate Resort.
* 2022: Baltimore, MD. Marriott Inner Harbor at Camden Yards.
* 2021: not held due to [[COVID-19]] pandemic.
* 2020: not held due to COVID-19 pandemic.
* 2019: Reno, NV. Silver Legacy Resort Casino.
* 2018: Buffalo, NY. Hyatt Regency and Buffalo Niagara Convention Center.
* 2017: New Orleans, LA. Hyatt Regency
* 2016: Fort Wayne, IN. Grand Wayne Convention Center.
* 2015: Reno, NV. Silver Legacy Resort Casino.
* 2014: Buffalo, NY. Hyatt Regency and Buffalo Niagara Convention Center.
* 2013: Las Vegas, NV. Riviera Hotel.
* 2012: Orlando, FL. Royal Pacific Resort.
* 2011: Addison (Dallas), TX. Hotel Intercontinental.

Competition starts on the last Saturday in July, give or take one week, and runs for five days ending on a Wednesday. Before the event, supplies begin arriving on Monday and staff on Wednesday; setup takes place on Thursday and a warmup event alongside registration on Friday. After the event, teardown takes place on Wednesday and Thursday, some staff leave on Wednesday night, another side event runs on Thursday morning, and remaining staff and supplies leave on Thursday. Depending on other local attractions, players may wish to book additional shoulder dates.

Here is what our ideal national event site would include the following; a more detailed RFP (request for proposal) is available on [[Contact|request]]. See also further down on this page for a more detailed discussion of general requirements for tournament sites.

=== Main playing room ===

[http://event.scrabbleplayers.org/2018/nasc/build/photo/5/DSC_6662.html http://event.scrabbleplayers.org/2018/nasc/build/photo/5/DSC_6662.JPG]

* about 20,000 square feet, configured in one open, undivided space with lines of sight to all points in the room from a central position; a little larger or smaller is fine; 10,000 square feet is about the smallest space that we could function in, and would require substantial redesign of our event..
* either a ballroom or an exhibit hall is fine
* quiet: our group likes to concentrate quietly, will not disturb others, and does not want to share space with groups that make loud noises
* bright indirect lighting: must be bright enough for people with moderate vision impairment to read comfortably, but not cause glare on equipment
* good climate control: must be sufficient to maintain a comfortable atmosphere for 400–800 players to sit in and not have to change clothes over the course of the day
* no mirrors: player tiles must not be visible to opponents, like cards in a bridge or poker tournament
* accessible to the disabled: must include accessible restroom facilities near the playing room
* 100-200 30"x6'~8' rectangular banquet tables: 3'-wide tables are not acceptable, and pairs of 18"-wide tables less so. Availability of color-coded linens is a plus.
* 400~800 chairs: players play one-on-one, two games to a table, so four chairs to a table
* one centrally located riser for our command center
* one riser for a stage, with podium, mike and P/A system
* one wired Internet line, unlimited WiFi: we upload content to build our live event website, which may include one video feed and photos and data that add up to less than the bandwidth of a second video feed; players access the event website to download small graphics and text giving them their current standings and next opponents
* unlimited electrical drops: typically six on the command center and about ten throughout the room for word adjudication laptops

=== Ancillary requirements ===

* one nearby lockable site office
* three nearby lockable breakout rooms of about 1,000 square feet each
* free parking, WiFi Internet and access to fitness room and pool for on-site guests
* a good on-site or nearby restaurant where small daily lunch meetings can be held
* good cheap concession catering so that players do not have to go off site for breakfast and lunch
* location near a major air hub, with reasonably priced ground transfer services able to handle the simultaneous departure of our entire group
* accommodation either in or immediately adjacent to the playing area, with a fully accessible connection

== Other tournaments ==

Many club [[director|directors]] organize an annual regional tournament that may attract 50–200 players. These tournaments may be held at hotels, but especially at the smaller end they are more commonly found in other public spaces such as community centers and churches. These events would be planned six to twelve months in advance, and might use a site selection service, but would more often not.

Some clubs also organize more frequent, smaller events for 4–40 players that meet either in public spaces or restaurants (where players may be required to make a food purchase in exchange for their use of the space). We require four weeks' advance notice for a multi-day tournament booking; clubs which host events regularly may sign contracts with the same venue for a year or so in advance.

At all levels, organizers look for the following in a venue:

* Space, tables, chairs: tournament Scrabble is played one-on-one at square or rectangular tables 2.5–3 feet wide. One game can fit on a square table; two on a 6–8-foot rectangular banquet table. There must be room between tables for players to move comfortably on foot or in a wheelchair. A director will also need an electrical drop for computer and printer, and at a large event a public address system.
* Low venue cost: in industry jargon, we are SMERFs (Social, Military, Educational, Religious & Fraternal) and typically book space that would otherwise go empty off-season.
* Pleasant playing environment: bright but non-glare light, quiet, not too hot or too cold, a reasonable number of restrooms nearby.
* Reasonably priced catering: players are hurried during their short lunch breaks, will eat on-site if offered convenient and reasonably priced food, but will otherwise find fast food off-site.
* Accessibility to the [[special needs|disabled]]: all organizers must announce whether or not their event will be accessible, and are strongly encouraged to make it so.
* Convenient but separate smoking areas: smoking players need quick access between rounds to a place where they can smoke; non-smoking players do not want to have to pass through smoke to get fresh air.
* Free Internet access: directors often post their tournament results live online.

If you manage a venue that you think would be appropriate for a Scrabble tournament, you may contact us at [mailto:info@scrabbleplayers.org info@scrabbleplayers.org] or look through our [[club roster]] for the contact information for a director near you.

Software

2026-09-29T19:11:35Z

Judycole: /* Four Square */

'''Software''' plays a major role in organized Scrabble activities.

[[NASPA]]'s [[Web Committee]] offers web hosting space to software developers
and works with them to develop standards.

The [[Technology Committee]] evaluates and certifies word judge software for use at tournaments and clubs.

NASPA also [[Licensing |licenses]] the [[NASPA Word List]] and [[School SCRABBLE Word List 2018 | NASPA School Word List]] for use by developers. Please
[[contact]] us if you would like to use our word list in your application.

Certification and licensing are separate processes; software may be either, neither, or both. Uncertified, unlicensed software is listed here only for information purposes, and not as an endorsement.

== Certified word judge software ==

NASPA recommends that [[tournaments]] and [[clubs]] use laptops running word adjudication software to process
challenges in competitive games. The following Software Self Lookup (SSL) programs were evaluated by the [[Technology Committee]] and are approved for use in club and tournament situations as noted below.

=== [[Zyzzyva | NASPA Zyzzyva]] ===
* '''Features''': anagramming, definitions, word judge, word study
* '''Developers''': [[Michael Thelen]], [[Zyzzyva Committee]]
* '''Systems''': Linux, macOS, Windows
* '''Notes''': Certified and licensed, used at all major events,including the [[National SCRABBLE Championship |NASPA Championship]], [[National School SCRABBLE Championship|National School Scrabble Championship]] and [[Canadian National SCRABBLE Championship|Canadian National Scrabble Championship]]

* '''Developer''': [[Michael Wolfberg|Mike Wolfberg]]

== Tournament management software ==

Tournament management software assists the director in pairing players, recording game results, generating pairing reports and standings for printing, and generating final tournament data for submission to NASPA for rating of tournaments. There is not yet a certification process for this category of software.

=== [[tsh]] ===
* '''Features''': tournament management, word judge

* '''Notes''': used at all major events, including the [[National SCRABBLE Championship |NASPA Championship]], [[National School SCRABBLE Championship |National School Scrabble Championship]] and [[Canadian National SCRABBLE Championship|Canadian National Scrabble Championship]]. It has a very rich set of features, but most directors need some help at first learning to use its command-line interface.

== Club management software ==

Club management software assists the director in pairing players, recording game results, and maintaining statistics for a club. There is not yet a certification process for this category of software.

Judycole: /* Elbbarcs */ Added Four Square

'''Software''' plays a major role in organized Scrabble activities.

[[NASPA]]'s [[Web Committee]] offers web hosting space to software developers
and works with them to develop standards.

The [[Technology Committee]] evaluates and certifies word judge software for use at tournaments and clubs.

NASPA also [[Licensing |licenses]] the [[NASPA Word List]] and [[School SCRABBLE Word List 2018 | NASPA School Word List]] for use by developers. Please
[[contact]] us if you would like to use our word list in your application.

Certification and licensing are separate processes; software may be either, neither, or both. Uncertified, unlicensed software is listed here only for information purposes, and not as an endorsement.

== Certified word judge software ==

NASPA recommends that [[tournaments]] and [[clubs]] use laptops running word adjudication software to process
challenges in competitive games. The following Software Self Lookup (SSL) programs were evaluated by the [[Technology Committee]] and are approved for use in club and tournament situations as noted below.

=== [[Zyzzyva | NASPA Zyzzyva]] ===
* '''Features''': anagramming, definitions, word judge, word study
* '''Developers''': [[Michael Thelen]], [[Zyzzyva Committee]]
* '''Systems''': Linux, macOS, Windows
* '''Notes''': Certified and licensed, used at all major events,including the [[National SCRABBLE Championship |NASPA Championship]], [[National School SCRABBLE Championship|National School Scrabble Championship]] and [[Canadian National SCRABBLE Championship|Canadian National Scrabble Championship]]

* '''Features''': anagramming, definitions, word judge, word study
* '''Developers''': [[Michael Thelen]], [[Zyzzyva Committee]]

* '''Developer''': [[Michael Wolfberg|Mike Wolfberg]]
* '''System''': Windows
* '''Notes''': Certified and licensed. Stands for "Wolfberg's Helpful Anagramming Tool".

== Tournament management software ==

Tournament management software assists the director in pairing players, recording game results, generating pairing reports and standings for printing, and generating final tournament data for submission to NASPA for rating of tournaments. There is not yet a certification process for this category of software.

=== [[tsh]] ===
* '''Features''': tournament management, word judge

* '''Notes''': used at all major events, including the [[National SCRABBLE Championship |NASPA Championship]], [[National School SCRABBLE Championship |National School Scrabble Championship]] and [[Canadian National SCRABBLE Championship|Canadian National Scrabble Championship]]. It has a very rich set of features, but most directors need some help at first learning to use its command-line interface.

== Club management software ==

Club management software assists the director in pairing players, recording game results, and maintaining statistics for a club. There is not yet a certification process for this category of software.

Judycole: /* Tile Runner */ Added Tileside

'''Software''' plays a major role in organized Scrabble activities.

[[NASPA]]'s [[Web Committee]] offers web hosting space to software developers
and works with them to develop standards.

The [[Technology Committee]] evaluates and certifies word judge software for use at tournaments and clubs.

NASPA also [[Licensing |licenses]] the [[NASPA Word List]] and [[School SCRABBLE Word List 2018 | NASPA School Word List]] for use by developers. Please
[[contact]] us if you would like to use our word list in your application.

Certification and licensing are separate processes; software may be either, neither, or both. Uncertified, unlicensed software is listed here only for information purposes, and not as an endorsement.

== Certified word judge software ==

NASPA recommends that [[tournaments]] and [[clubs]] use laptops running word adjudication software to process
challenges in competitive games. The following Software Self Lookup (SSL) programs were evaluated by the [[Technology Committee]] and are approved for use in club and tournament situations as noted below.

=== [[Zyzzyva | NASPA Zyzzyva]] ===
* '''Features''': anagramming, definitions, word judge, word study
* '''Developers''': [[Michael Thelen]], [[Zyzzyva Committee]]
* '''Systems''': Linux, macOS, Windows
* '''Notes''': Certified and licensed, used at all major events,including the [[National SCRABBLE Championship |NASPA Championship]], [[National School SCRABBLE Championship|National School Scrabble Championship]] and [[Canadian National SCRABBLE Championship|Canadian National Scrabble Championship]]

=== [[NASPA Zyzzyva Mobile]] ===
* '''Features''': anagramming, definitions, word judge, word study
* '''Developers''': [[Michael Thelen]], [[Zyzzyva Committee]]

* '''Features''': anagramming, word judge
* '''Developer''': [[Michael Wolfberg|Mike Wolfberg]]
* '''System''': Windows
* '''Notes''': Certified and licensed. Stands for "Wolfberg's Helpful Anagramming Tool".

== Tournament management software ==

Tournament management software assists the director in pairing players, recording game results, generating pairing reports and standings for printing, and generating final tournament data for submission to NASPA for rating of tournaments. There is not yet a certification process for this category of software.

=== [[tsh]] ===
* '''Features''': tournament management, word judge
* '''Developer''': [[John Chew]]

* '''Notes''': used at all major events, including the [[National SCRABBLE Championship |NASPA Championship]], [[National School SCRABBLE Championship |National School Scrabble Championship]] and [[Canadian National SCRABBLE Championship|Canadian National Scrabble Championship]]. It has a very rich set of features, but most directors need some help at first learning to use its command-line interface.

== Club management software ==

Club management software assists the director in pairing players, recording game results, and maintaining statistics for a club. There is not yet a certification process for this category of software.

Software

Judycole: /* Scrabble GO */ Scrabble Go

'''Software''' plays a major role in organized Scrabble activities.

[[NASPA]]'s [[Web Committee]] offers web hosting space to software developers
and works with them to develop standards.

The [[Technology Committee]] evaluates and certifies word judge software for use at tournaments and clubs.

NASPA also [[Licensing |licenses]] the [[NASPA Word List]] and [[School SCRABBLE Word List 2018 | NASPA School Word List]] for use by developers. Please
[[contact]] us if you would like to use our word list in your application.

Certification and licensing are separate processes; software may be either, neither, or both. Uncertified, unlicensed software is listed here only for information purposes, and not as an endorsement.

== Certified word judge software ==

NASPA recommends that [[tournaments]] and [[clubs]] use laptops running word adjudication software to process
challenges in competitive games. The following Software Self Lookup (SSL) programs were evaluated by the [[Technology Committee]] and are approved for use in club and tournament situations as noted below.

* '''Developer''': [[Michael Wolfberg|Mike Wolfberg]]
* '''System''': Windows
* '''Notes''': Certified and licensed. Stands for "Wolfberg's Helpful Anagramming Tool".

== Tournament management software ==

Tournament management software assists the director in pairing players, recording game results, generating pairing reports and standings for printing, and generating final tournament data for submission to NASPA for rating of tournaments. There is not yet a certification process for this category of software.

=== [[tsh]] ===
* '''Features''': tournament management, word judge

It has a very rich set of features, but most directors need some help at first learning to use its command-line interface.

== Club management software ==

Club management software assists the director in pairing players, recording game results, and maintaining statistics for a club. There is not yet a certification process for this category of software.

NASPA Youth SCRABBLE Grants

2026-09-24T22:58:36Z

Judycole: /* How Do I Apply? */ changed date

In the past, NASPA has supported requests for help with the donation of equipment (tiles, racks, and games). Rather than wait for requests, we are announcing a program where you can apply to receive a grant from NASPA to support Youth Scrabble.

== Who Can Apply? ==

Any NASPA member can apply for a NASPA Youth Scrabble grant. The grant may be awarded to an organization or program, but a NASPA member must recommend the organization or program.

== What Can I Request? ==

Your request could be something as simple as equipment to support live play or a paid Zoom subscription to support online club sessions. If you are holding tournaments or events, you might request support for trophies or other non-cash prizes. You might want to develop curriculum materials that can be shared with other Youth Scrabble coaches on the NASPA web site.

There are no specific requirements – use your imagination and think how you can support Youth Scrabble.

== How Do I Apply? ==

We will accept requests for support of Youth SCRABBLE initiatives and award grants as funds are available.

'''Applicants should submit proposals by October 31, 2026 for the current round of funding.'''

At a minimum, the proposal should contain:

* NASPA Sponsor – Member name, NASPA ID, and contact information
* Grant Recipient (if different than NASPA Sponsor) – Contact information for the grant recipient
* Proposal – Description of your proposed use of the grant and your plan for realizing the use – including a timeline
* Budget – Amount requested with justification for the expenditure
<br/>
Proposals should be sent via email to [mailto:info@scrabbleplayers.org NASPA].

== How Will the Review Process Work? ==

All applications will be reviewed and evaluated by a committee consisting of the Executive Committee, Advisory Board members, and Youth chair [[Cornelia Guest]].

== Installing Older Versions ==

If you are installing a version of NASPA Zyzzyva prior to 3.2.0,
here is archived information about what you should do.

# If you wish to install the [[OTCWL2016]], [[OSPD5]], or [[SSWL2016]], make sure that you have a NASPA [[membership]], its ID (number) and password, and a 64-bit (Intel Core Duo 2 or later) OS X (10.7 or later) computer with an Internet connection.
# Download the [[NASPA Zyzzyva Download|installer disk image file]].
# Open the disk image file and drag the app to the Applications folder as indicated.
# Open the app in the Applications folder.
##If you see a warning about security, either click the ''Allow'' button if there is one, or else go to the ''Apple menu → System Preferences → Security & Privacy → General → Allow applications downloaded from:'' and select ''Anywhere'', then try again.
##If you see a warning about an unknown developer, hold down the Control key and click the app. Choose Open and then click Open. Zyzzyva is saved as an exception to your security settings.

# Go to ''Tools → Manage Licenses...'' and click ''Claim License...''. Choose NASPA. Log in with your [[NASPA ID]] and password. Click ''OK'' to acknowledge that you have received a license file. Click ''OK'' to acknowledge that you have received an activation certificate. Click ''Close'' to close the Licenses window.

# Go to ''Zyzzyva → Preferences → General → Load Lexicons: Edit...'' and click on ''OTCWL2016''. Click ''OK'' twice to close windows.
# To check that you have OTCWL2016 loaded correctly, click the magnifying glass search button, choose the OTCWL2016 lexicon, and ask for an anagram match for ABEDHIRTT. If you see BIRTHDATE, you’re done.
# If you want to see definitions or do more complex searches, go to ''Tools → Rebuild Database...'' and choose to build the OTCWL2016 lexicon database. This will take a while, but when it's complete, you'll have the full set of capabilities with the new lexicon.

=== NASPA Zyzzyva 3.1.0 Issue With macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) ===

If Zyzzyva fails to launch when you try to run it, you can fix your installed copy of NASPA Zyzzyva 3.1.0 by following these steps:

# In Finder, in the Go menu, choose Go to Folder…
# Enter /usr/lib and click Go.
# Select the file named libz.1.dylib and copy it to the Clipboard.
# Navigate to the folder where Zyzzyva is installed.
# Control-click the Zyzzyva application icon and choose Show Package Contents.
# Open the Contents folder and then the Frameworks folder.
# Paste the file that you copied onto the clipboard, and click Replace when prompted.

SPC Satellite Event

2026-09-20T21:15:49Z

Judycole: /* 2026 SPC Satellite Events */ Added 2027

To celebrate and promote multi-day tournaments, the [[Championship Committee]] established the '''Scrabble Players Championship (SPC) Satellite Event''' program.

To qualify for the Satellite Event program, an event must meet the following criteria:
* Take place over multiple days
* Contain a minimum of 13 rounds
* Have at least 50 players across all divisions in the specific event
* Be fully rated
* Occur before the close of registration for the SPC
** The Championship Committee reserves the right to terminate the program early if registrations for the SPC approach the attendance cap, if any. Spaces will be reserved for any later events already designated as Satellite Events.
<BR>
If a tournament has multiple events (Early Bird, Main Event, Late Bird, etc.), each event must qualify separately. For example, the total number of players in all events cannot be used to meet the 50-player requirement.

The Championship Committee will award a complimentary SPC registration to one player for every 50 players participating in an SPC Satellite Event. The SPC Satellite Event director can decide how to award the SPC registration - e.g., as a prize to a top player or as a raffle prize for all players or among division winners.
* The SPC registration must be awarded to a player in the event.
* The director cannot retain the SPC registration for personal use unless the director is also playing in the event and thereby qualifies for the prize.
<BR>
Directors should register their interest in designating events as Satellite Events when requesting sanctioning of the tournament.
* If a qualifying event is already sanctioned, directors should email the Championship Committee at [mailto:nsc@scrabbleplayers.org nsc@scrabbleplayers.org] to add the event to the program.
* The [[calendar | Tournament Listing]] will designate the event as an SPC Satellite Event.
<BR>
Winners of an SPC Satellite Event will receive a complimentary Main Event registration to the SPC and will be recognized there.
* The prize covers registration for the Main Event only. Winners are responsible for other costs, such as travel, lodging, commuter fees, Early Bird, etc.
* If a winner has already registered and paid for the SPC, the winner will be given the option to:
** Receive a credit on their NASPA account
** Receive a refund
* If a winner cannot attend the SPC, the winner will receive a credit on their NASPA account.
<BR>
After the SPC Satellite Event, the director must promptly provide the name and contact information of the winner(s) to the Championship Committee at [mailto:nsc@scrabbleplayers.org nsc@scrabbleplayers.org].

If you have questions about the SPC Satellite Program, you can email the Championship Committee at [mailto:nsc@scrabbleplayers.org nsc@scrabbleplayers.org].

Club roster

2026-09-19T15:07:55Z

Judycole: /* NEBRASKA */

This is a roster of all NASPA clubs in North America.

NASPA clubs are identified as a NASPA Club followed by a number and are run by a NASPA-certified director. The other clubs listed are run by a NASPA member. The accomplishments of those clubs are not eligible for official recognition.

NASPA clubs are open to everyone. It is advisable to contact a club director before attending to make sure the club is meeting as listed.

Some clubs have not resumed operations after the pandemic. In those places, we may list a director or player who is willing to be contacted by people wanting to play.

Information about registering a new club can be found at the clubs page, https://scrabbleplayers.org/w/Clubs.

To update or correct information posted here, please contact the Club/Director Committee at club@scrabbleplayers.org

Club roster

2026-09-19T15:07:18Z

Judycole: /* NEBRASKA */

This is a roster of all NASPA clubs in North America.

NASPA clubs are identified as a NASPA Club followed by a number and are run by a NASPA-certified director. The other clubs listed are run by a NASPA member. The accomplishments of those clubs are not eligible for official recognition.

NASPA clubs are open to everyone. It is advisable to contact a club director before attending to make sure the club is meeting as listed.

Some clubs have not resumed operations after the pandemic. In those places, we may list a director or player who is willing to be contacted by people wanting to play.

Information about registering a new club can be found at the clubs page, https://scrabbleplayers.org/w/Clubs.

To update or correct information posted here, please contact the Club/Director Committee at club@scrabbleplayers.org

NASPA Zyzzyva FAQ

2026-09-19T02:00:55Z

Judycole: /* Is Zyzzyva free? */ Added apostrophe

The '''NASPA Zyzzyva FAQ''', as with everything [[NASPA Zyzzyva|Zyzzyva]]-related, was originally written by [[Michael Thelen]] and then transferred to NASPA in 2014.

If you have a question that is not answered on this page, please send it to the [mailto:zyzzyva@scrabbleplayers.org NASPA Zyzzyva Committee] mailing list. There are people on that list who generally respond quickly and helpfully to most questions.

Please note that this FAQ describes the desktop version of NASPA Zyzzyva. For information about the new NASPA Zyzzyva Mobile app, please visit [[NASPA Zyzzyva Mobile|this page]].

== General ==

=== Why is the program called Zyzzyva? ===

Michael Thelen writes: I wanted to pick a fun word that was somewhat unique. I knew '''<tt>ZYZZYVA</tt>''' was one of the most improbable words to be played in a Scrabble game, and I liked the sound of it. Later on, after I had picked the name, I realized that since '''<tt>ZYZZYVA</tt>''' was also the last word in alphabetical order (it has since been replaced by '''<tt>ZZZ</tt>'''), I could call Zyzzyva the last word in word study. I wish I could say I was smart enough to come up with that slogan from the start.

=== Why is NASPA Games involved with Zyzzyva? ===

With the release of the OTCWL2014 and OSPD5 lexicons in 2014, Hasbro, Inc. began stronger enforcement of their copyrights on the word lists. This entailed a license agreement that would bind the licensee (Michael Thelen s Boshvark Software, LLC) to prevent the leakage of those lists, which theretofore had been a part of the Zyzzyva distribution. As a result, he decided to sell the product to NASPA, and the new NASPA Zyzzyva Committee began work to change the product so that it would comply with the terms of license, and to tie its availability to NASPA membership.

Beginning with version 3.1.0, NASPA Zyzzyva includes Collins lexicons under license, allowing bilexical players to study the current international and North American tournament lexicons and the differences between them.

Version 3.2.0 removed protection from the NASPA tournament/club and school lexicons, and version 3.2.1 removed protection from the Collins lexicons. This meant that a license was no longer required for NASPA members to use these lexicons, except to perform a one-time decryption of any existing quiz statistics databases.

Version 3.3.0 removed all vestiges of these licensing and decryption features. As of August 2021, NASPA Games and its activities are neither endorsed by nor affiliated with Hasbro or Mattel. At the same time, we introduced a compatible NASPA Zyzzyva Mobile app for iOS and Android.

Version 3.4.0 added two new lexicons (NWL2023, NSWL2023) along with data synchronization and numerous fixes. Version 3.4.2 added basic definitions
for Collins lexicons, including CSW24.

Version 3.5.0 adds support for international lexicons and letter sets, and allows multiple custom lexicons.

=== Is Zyzzyva free? ===

Zyzzyva is a benefit of membership, but of course our membership grows through advocacy, so we support its use within the wider community.

Zyzzyva's support for international languages depends on cooperation agreements with other organizations, who are responsible for their content.

=== Is Zyzzyva available for my platform? ===

Zyzzyva is currently available for the Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android platforms.

You should try our mobile app (NASPA Zyzzyva Mobile)! When NASPA took over Zyzzyva development, the iOS version was already two iOS updates obsolete. We reinvented it as an app for iOS and Android, with much the same user interface as that pre-2014 app, but built upon the same base source code as the desktop version so that it can be developed in parallel and new features added. For more information on NASPA Zyzzyva Mobile, click [[NASPA Zyzzyva Mobile|here]].

=== Can I donate to Zyzzyva? ===

You can support NASPA Zyzzyva development and our other activities by [http://www.scrabbleplayers.org/cgi-bin/join.pl joining] NASPA or [https://www.scrabbleplayers.org/cgi-bin/renew.pl keeping] your membership current. If you are feeling philanthropic, why not consider a donation to our [https://www.naspafoundationforyouthliteracy.org/ Foundation for Youth Literacy]?

== Supported Word Lists ==

=== How do I use word lists added in the latest version of NASPA Zyzzyva? ===

When you install and use a new version of NASPA Zyzzyva for the first time, all newly added word lists should load at startup.

Follow these instructions to make a word list available in NASPA Zyzzyva:

* From the main menu, choose ''Preferences > General > Lexicon > Manage'' and check the lexicons that you want to use.
* Rebuild databases when prompted. This step may take several minutes if you have many lexicons loaded. When it completes, you re done!
** If not prompted, you can choose ''Tools > Rebuild Database'' to start the process.

=== Where can I find word lists to use with NASPA Zyzzyva? ===

If the word list is not [[Zyzzyva#Current_Version | included]] in NASPA Zyzzyva, you may be able to load a text file version of the word list as a custom lexicon.

Some international organizations publish catalogs that support authentication of their published word lists and inform Zyzzyva about their letter sets. Check with your organization for information.

It depends on the word list, but you should in general ask the copyright holder for permission to use an electronic copy of the word list.

If you need help formatting it for use with Zyzzyva, please feel free to contact [mailto:zyzzyva@scrabbleplayers.org us].

== Using Zyzzyva ==

=== How do I print a list of words? ===

There is no print functionality built into Zyzzyva. You can, however, right-click (Control-click on a Mac) on any word list (e.g., ''Search'' results) and save it in plain text format. Then manipulate the list and print it from a text editor program, like Notepad on Windows.

=== Why do I not see definitions in search results for a word list that I just loaded? ===

First, unless you re using one of Zyzzyva s built-in lexicons, your lexicon may not offer definitions. This is often the case with international lexicons.

After you load a word list, you must build the database for that word list. Go to ''Tools > Rebuild Database'' and choose the new word list or all word lists.

Also, make sure that the ''Show definitions'' option is checked in ''Preferences > Word Tables''.

=== When viewing search results, what are the marks at the beginning or end of certain words? ===

Those marks denote inner hooks - they mean that either the first or last letter of the word can be dropped to form another valid word, depending on where the mark appears. If the mark appears at the beginning of the word, then the first letter can be dropped. If the mark appears at the end of the word, then the last letter can be dropped.

You can choose whether to display a hyphen or a bullet character to denote inner hooks in ''Preferences > Word Tables''.

=== Why did Zyzzyva mark all my answers as missed when I actually got them all correct? ===

Zyzzyva only marks all responses as missed if you actually entered all the correct responses, but also provided an incorrect response. The reason for marking all responses as missed is because (currently) Zyzzyva has no other way of marking the question as missed without marking at least one response as missed. So instead of picking a random response to mark as missed, it marks them all.

This only happens if you have the ''Mark question as missed after an incorrect response'' setting activated, but not ''End question after an incorrect response''. Technically, it could also happen if you have the ''End question after an incorrect response'' setting activated, but not ''End question after all correct responses'', and the incorrect response is the last one you give.

== Cardboxes and Quizzes ==

=== How does the Cardbox system work? ===

The basic idea is that you must first tell Zyzzyva which words you d like it to keep track of. You generally do this by performing a search, then right-clicking the search results, and choosing Add list to cardbox. Then Zyzzyva keeps track of those words and automatically quizzes you on the ones it thinks you need to see each day. When you miss a word frequently, Zyzzyva will show it to you more often.

Check out the [[Cardboxing 101]] and [[Cardboxing 201]] articles to get an idea of how you can use Cardboxing for word study.

Also, the Help documentation provides more detailed instructions on the use of this feature.

=== How do I retain my quiz statistics and cardbox data when I want to study a different word list? ===

Cardboxes are separate for each word list. You can, however, import quiz statistics and cardbox data from one word list to another.

* Choose ''File > Cardbox''.
* Select the ''Lexicon'' - for example, NWL2023 - and ''Quiz Type'' - usually ''Anagrams''.
* Choose ''Import''.
* Select the lexicon from which you want to import data - for example, NWL2020 - and click ''OK''.

=== How do I remove all my cardbox data? ===

Do the following:

* Open a ''Search'' tab.
* Do a search that will find all possible words in your cardbox. Probably something like: ''Length'' with ''Min'' 2, ''Max'' 9.
* Right-click the search results and choose ''Remove list from cardbox''.
<br/>
All your cardbox data will be removed from the system, but your historical quiz data will be retained.

== Portability of Zyzzyva Data ==

=== How can I transfer my Zyzzyva data from one computer to another? ===

You can transfer all your data to a new computer by copying your data directory. You can find out where your Zyzzyva data directory is by opening ''Preferences > General'' and looking at the ''Data Directory'' setting. Make a copy of this directory, and move it to wherever you like, on the new computer. Then, after you install Zyzzyva on the new computer, open the ''Preferences'' window and change the ''Data Directory'' setting to point to wherever you put your data directory from the original computer.

The transfer should work regardless of the operating systems used on the two computers. For example, you should be able to transfer your data directory from a Windows computer to a Mac, or vice versa.

If you have access to the Internet, you can tell Zyzzyva to synchronize its data directory with cloud storage, allowing you to use multiple computers and mobile devices to study using the same data. See the Help documentation for more details about data synchronization.

=== How can I change the location of my data directory? ===

Always be careful when doing this, so you don t lose important data that you ve been working on.

While Zyzzyva is running, open the ''Preferences'' window and use the ''Data Directory Wizard'' to change the ''Data Directory'' setting to the new location. Use the option to ''Move data after saving preferences''. When you save preferences, Zyzzyva will close all open tabs, move the data directory, and restart itself in the new location.

=== Can I keep my Zyzzyva data on a USB thumb drive? ===

Absolutely. This may be a good option for anyone wanting to use Zyzzyva on multiple computers without having to copy data directories back and forth or sign up for cloud storage. Simply copy your data directory onto the USB drive (using the process described to transfer Zyzzyva data from one computer to another). Then open ''Preferences > General'' and change the ''Data Directory'' setting to point to the data directory on the USB drive.

== Word Probability ==

=== How does Zyzzyva calculate the probability of a word? ===

There isn t a handy formula, but it s basically a straight calculation of the number of possible combinations to get a particular set of letters from a full bag, including blanks. Separate combination values are calculated for drawing zero, one, or two blanks, and then the numbers of combinations are added together to get the total number of ways of drawing a word.

=== Are you sure the probability calculation is accurate? It seems unintuitive to me. ===

Yep, it really is correct. The calculation of probability is notorious for violating human intuition. One useful guideline to remember is that doubled or tripled letters make a particular letter combination much more improbable than you might think. That s because the number of ways to draw two identical letters out of the bag is generally much lower than the number of ways to draw two different letters out of the bag.

=== Are you really sure about the probabilities? I need to see more examples. ===

Consider '''<tt>BAILERS</tt>''' versus '''<tt>BELIERS</tt>'''. '''<tt>BAILERS</tt>''' is a fair amount more probable than '''<tt>BELIERS</tt>''' because of the doubled '''<tt>E</tt>'''s in '''<tt>BELIERS</tt>'''. However, it seems intuitive to say, If '''<tt>BEILRS</tt>''' has been drawn from a full bag, then there are 9 '''<tt>A</tt>'''s and 11 '''<tt>E</tt>'''s in the remaining pool. The '''<tt>E</tt>''' is the more likely draw, which means '''<tt>BELIERS</tt>''' should be more probable than '''<tt>BAILERS</tt>'''.

While it is true that drawing a single '''<tt>E</tt>''' is more likely than drawing a single '''<tt>A</tt>''', the math for calculating the probability of a word is more complicated than that. You can t just start calculating with the assumption that '''<tt>BEILRS</tt>''' has been drawn; those letters themselves factor into the calculation, and they are not independent events. In this case, we can reduce the difference between '''<tt>BAILERS</tt>''' and '''<tt>BELIERS</tt>''' to the difference between drawing '''<tt>AE</tt>''' or '''<tt>EE</tt>''' when drawing two tiles from the bag.

If you draw two tiles out of a full bag, the probability of drawing two '''<tt>E</tt>'''s is much lower than the probability of drawing an '''<tt>A</tt>''' and an '''<tt>E</tt>'''. That is because there are 9 x 12 = 108 ways to draw an '''<tt>A</tt>''' and an '''<tt>E</tt>''' if you draw two tiles. But there are only (12 x 11) / 2 = 66 ways to draw two '''<tt>E</tt>'''s if you draw two tiles. This number of combinations is called 12 choose 2 , and is explained in more detail in this [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combination Wikipedia article] about combinations.

To reduce this to a simple example where it s easy to enumerate all the possibilities, consider a 4-tile bag containing only '''<tt>AAEE</tt>'''. I ll label the tiles '''<tt>A1</tt>''', '''<tt>A2</tt>''', '''<tt>E1</tt>''', '''<tt>E2</tt>''' for convenience. There are 6 possible ways to draw two unordered tiles:

'''<tt>A1 A2 = AA</tt>'''
'''<tt>A1 E1 = AE</tt>'''
'''<tt>A1 E2 = AE</tt>'''
'''<tt>A2 E1 = AE</tt>'''
'''<tt>A2 E2 = AE</tt>'''
'''<tt>E1 E2 = EE</tt>'''

As you can see, '''<tt>AE</tt>''' is drawn 4/6 times, while '''<tt>AA</tt>''' is drawn only 1/6, and '''<tt>EE</tt>''' is drawn only 1/6 as well. Even though '''<tt>A</tt>''' and '''<tt>E</tt>''' are equally likely to be drawn if you are only drawing one tile, if you re drawing two tiles, it is much more likely to draw one of each than to draw duplicates.

As another example, consider a bag where '''<tt>E</tt>''' is more likely than '''<tt>A</tt>''', as is the case in the full SCRABBLE bag. Consider a 6-tile bag containing '''<tt>AAEEEE</tt>''', with tiles labeled '''<tt>A1</tt>''', '''<tt>A2</tt>''', '''<tt>E1</tt>''', '''<tt>E2</tt>''', '''<tt>E3</tt>''', '''<tt>E4</tt>'''. There are 15 possible ways to draw two unordered tiles:

'''<tt>A1 A2 = AA</tt>'''
'''<tt>A1 E1 = AE</tt>'''
'''<tt>A1 E2 = AE</tt>'''
'''<tt>A1 E3 = AE</tt>'''
'''<tt>A1 E4 = AE</tt>'''
'''<tt>A2 E1 = AE</tt>'''
'''<tt>A2 E2 = AE</tt>'''
'''<tt>A2 E3 = AE</tt>'''
'''<tt>A2 E4 = AE</tt>'''
'''<tt>E1 E2 = EE</tt>'''
'''<tt>E1 E3 = EE</tt>'''
'''<tt>E1 E4 = EE</tt>'''
'''<tt>E2 E3 = EE</tt>'''
'''<tt>E2 E4 = EE</tt>'''
'''<tt>E3 E4 = EE</tt>'''

'''<tt>AA</tt>''' occurs 1/15 times, '''<tt>AE</tt>''' occurs 8/15 times, '''<tt>EE</tt>''' occurs 6/15 times. Even though '''<tt>E</tt>''' is twice as likely as '''<tt>A</tt>''', '''<tt>AE</tt>''' is still more likely than '''<tt>EE</tt>'''! This is the same basic principle that also causes words with duplicate letters to be drawn with lower probability from a full SCRABBLE bag.

Complicating the math even further is the fact that Zyzzyva calculates probabilities using a full 100-tile bag including two blanks. That may account for differences (usually minor) with other probabilities you may have seen calculated elsewhere, many of which use a 98-tile bag with no blanks.

NASPA Zyzzyva FAQ

== Portability of Zyzzyva Data ==

=== How can I transfer my Zyzzyva data from one computer to another? ===

You can transfer all your data to a new computer by copying your data directory. You can find out where your Zyzzyva data directory is by opening ''Preferences > General'' and looking at the ''Data Directory'' setting. Make a copy of this directory, and move it to wherever you like, on the new computer. Then, after you install Zyzzyva on the new computer, open the ''Preferences'' window and change the ''Data Directory'' setting to point to wherever you put your data directory from the original computer.

The transfer should work regardless of the operating systems used on the two computers. For example, you should be able to transfer your data directory from a Windows computer to a Mac, or vice versa.

If you have access to the Internet, you can tell Zyzzyva to synchronize its data directory with cloud storage, allowing you to use multiple computers and mobile devices to study using the same data. See the Help documentation for more details about data synchronization.

=== How can I change the location of my data directory? ===

Always be careful when doing this, so you don t lose important data that you ve been working on.

While Zyzzyva is running, open the ''Preferences'' window and use the ''Data Directory Wizard'' to change the ''Data Directory'' setting to the new location. Use the option to ''Move data after saving preferences''. When you save preferences, Zyzzyva will close all open tabs, move the data directory, and restart itself in the new location.

=== Can I keep my Zyzzyva data on a USB thumb drive? ===

Absolutely. This may be a good option for anyone wanting to use Zyzzyva on multiple computers without having to copy data directories back and forth or sign up for cloud storage. Simply copy your data directory onto the USB drive (using the process described to transfer Zyzzyva data from one computer to another). Then open ''Preferences > General'' and change the ''Data Directory'' setting to point to the data directory on the USB drive.

== Word Probability ==

=== How does Zyzzyva calculate the probability of a word? ===

There isn t a handy formula, but it s basically a straight calculation of the number of possible combinations to get a particular set of letters from a full bag, including blanks. Separate combination values are calculated for drawing zero, one, or two blanks, and then the numbers of combinations are added together to get the total number of ways of drawing a word.

=== Are you sure the probability calculation is accurate? It seems unintuitive to me. ===

Yep, it really is correct. The calculation of probability is notorious for violating human intuition. One useful guideline to remember is that doubled or tripled letters make a particular letter combination much more improbable than you might think. That s because the number of ways to draw two identical letters out of the bag is generally much lower than the number of ways to draw two different letters out of the bag.

=== Are you really sure about the probabilities? I need to see more examples. ===

Consider '''<tt>BAILERS</tt>''' versus '''<tt>BELIERS</tt>'''. '''<tt>BAILERS</tt>''' is a fair amount more probable than '''<tt>BELIERS</tt>''' because of the doubled '''<tt>E</tt>'''s in '''<tt>BELIERS</tt>'''. However, it seems intuitive to say, If '''<tt>BEILRS</tt>''' has been drawn from a full bag, then there are 9 '''<tt>A</tt>'''s and 11 '''<tt>E</tt>'''s in the remaining pool. The '''<tt>E</tt>''' is the more likely draw, which means '''<tt>BELIERS</tt>''' should be more probable than '''<tt>BAILERS</tt>'''.

While it is true that drawing a single '''<tt>E</tt>''' is more likely than drawing a single '''<tt>A</tt>''', the math for calculating the probability of a word is more complicated than that. You can t just start calculating with the assumption that '''<tt>BEILRS</tt>''' has been drawn; those letters themselves factor into the calculation, and they are not independent events. In this case, we can reduce the difference between '''<tt>BAILERS</tt>''' and '''<tt>BELIERS</tt>''' to the difference between drawing '''<tt>AE</tt>''' or '''<tt>EE</tt>''' when drawing two tiles from the bag.

If you draw two tiles out of a full bag, the probability of drawing two '''<tt>E</tt>'''s is much lower than the probability of drawing an '''<tt>A</tt>''' and an '''<tt>E</tt>'''. That is because there are 9 x 12 = 108 ways to draw an '''<tt>A</tt>''' and an '''<tt>E</tt>''' if you draw two tiles. But there are only (12 x 11) / 2 = 66 ways to draw two '''<tt>E</tt>'''s if you draw two tiles. This number of combinations is called 12 choose 2 , and is explained in more detail in this [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combination Wikipedia article] about combinations.

To reduce this to a simple example where it s easy to enumerate all the possibilities, consider a 4-tile bag containing only '''<tt>AAEE</tt>'''. I ll label the tiles '''<tt>A1</tt>''', '''<tt>A2</tt>''', '''<tt>E1</tt>''', '''<tt>E2</tt>''' for convenience. There are 6 possible ways to draw two unordered tiles:

'''<tt>A1 A2 = AA</tt>'''
'''<tt>A1 E1 = AE</tt>'''
'''<tt>A1 E2 = AE</tt>'''
'''<tt>A2 E1 = AE</tt>'''
'''<tt>A2 E2 = AE</tt>'''
'''<tt>E1 E2 = EE</tt>'''

As you can see, '''<tt>AE</tt>''' is drawn 4/6 times, while '''<tt>AA</tt>''' is drawn only 1/6, and '''<tt>EE</tt>''' is drawn only 1/6 as well. Even though '''<tt>A</tt>''' and '''<tt>E</tt>''' are equally likely to be drawn if you are only drawing one tile, if you re drawing two tiles, it is much more likely to draw one of each than to draw duplicates.

As another example, consider a bag where '''<tt>E</tt>''' is more likely than '''<tt>A</tt>''', as is the case in the full SCRABBLE bag. Consider a 6-tile bag containing '''<tt>AAEEEE</tt>''', with tiles labeled '''<tt>A1</tt>''', '''<tt>A2</tt>''', '''<tt>E1</tt>''', '''<tt>E2</tt>''', '''<tt>E3</tt>''', '''<tt>E4</tt>'''. There are 15 possible ways to draw two unordered tiles:

'''<tt>A1 A2 = AA</tt>'''
'''<tt>A1 E1 = AE</tt>'''
'''<tt>A1 E2 = AE</tt>'''
'''<tt>A1 E3 = AE</tt>'''
'''<tt>A1 E4 = AE</tt>'''
'''<tt>A2 E1 = AE</tt>'''
'''<tt>A2 E2 = AE</tt>'''
'''<tt>A2 E3 = AE</tt>'''
'''<tt>A2 E4 = AE</tt>'''
'''<tt>E1 E2 = EE</tt>'''
'''<tt>E1 E3 = EE</tt>'''
'''<tt>E1 E4 = EE</tt>'''
'''<tt>E2 E3 = EE</tt>'''
'''<tt>E2 E4 = EE</tt>'''
'''<tt>E3 E4 = EE</tt>'''

'''<tt>AA</tt>''' occurs 1/15 times, '''<tt>AE</tt>''' occurs 8/15 times, '''<tt>EE</tt>''' occurs 6/15 times. Even though '''<tt>E</tt>''' is twice as likely as '''<tt>A</tt>''', '''<tt>AE</tt>''' is still more likely than '''<tt>EE</tt>'''! This is the same basic principle that also causes words with duplicate letters to be drawn with lower probability from a full SCRABBLE bag.

Complicating the math even further is the fact that Zyzzyva calculates probabilities using a full 100-tile bag including two blanks. That may account for differences (usually minor) with other probabilities you may have seen calculated elsewhere, many of which use a 98-tile bag with no blanks.
