During the pandemic I decided to make a word-checker for playing scrabble for my family. My motivation was that existing online tools take frustratingly long to respond and have ads and other information that make the experience very noisy.

My aim was to make a very simple app that I could use when playing scrabble with my family.

The list of known scrabble words fits into a file of 2.8 MB, so I figured I could make a simple React app that would check the user’s input after an artificial delay, with no server required.
