Software plays an increasing 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 software for use at tournaments and clubs.
Note: the Technology Committee does not evaluate or endorse the various study tools available, but has provided a list here for information purposes only.
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.
