Challenge! - A Dashboard widget that will simply check whether a string of letters is a word or not.
This makes it useful in quickly and authoritatively defusing potentially violent arguments arising from disputed plays in word games such as Scrabble and UpWords.
In that capacity, it serves the exalted purpose of making the world a better place.
It features a tournament-grade lexicon for North American play which can be replaced by your own word list.
But Tiger already ships with a dictionary for the dashboard!
Yes, and it is very pretty, but it doesn't have the word ZYZZYVA, and it's not very good with inflected forms. Challenge! comes with a word list based on the Official Tournament and Club Word List 1998 augmented to include words up to 15 letters long from Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Tenth Edition, making it the definitive source for tournament-level play in North America. Rude words included.
Here are some key features of "Challenge":
Tournament-grade lexicon!
Lighter than a dictionary at approximately 0.00 ounces!
Official word game terminology for good and phony!
SuperChallenge 4 XTreme adjudicating algorithm!
More than 17,443 hand-painted pixels!
Easy-clean high-gloss finish!
Vegan safe!
Increases the peace!
All that and more for free!
What's New:
Now with 100% more qi!
Updated word list (based on the brand new Official Tournament and Club Word List, 2nd Edition) now includes QI, ZA, FE, and ZUGZWANG!
