Content Standards
Last updated: June 25, 2026
This page describes how content on WordUnscramble.uk is created, reviewed, and kept accurate. It applies to every guide, word list, and reference article on the site.
How content is created
Every article starts from a real player question — for example, "which two-letter words are valid in Scrabble?" or "how do I clear a Q rack?". Candidate answers are generated directly from the same dictionary engine that powers the unscrambler, then written up with clear headings, worked examples, and links to further reading.
How articles are reviewed
We aim to review factual claims, worked examples and word lists against the ENABLE word list and other named sources listed below. Where an example gives a letter set, a stem plus a letter, or a specific word length, we cross-check it against the shipped dictionary before publication. We are actively adding automated build-time checks so that these claims can't drift or regress silently.
Not every article is perfect on first pass. If you spot an error, please tell us via the corrections page and we'll fix it and log the change.
AI-assisted writing disclosure
AI tools may be used to draft, outline or summarise articles. A human editor reviews every article before it publishes and is responsible for its factual accuracy; we don't treat that editorial pass as a guarantee that no error can slip through.
Accuracy commitment
- The unscrambler never invents words. Every result is drawn from a documented English word list.
- Claims that only hold in a specific game dictionary (for example Collins Scrabble Words vs the NASPA Word List) are labelled where they appear.
- Content is written to help real players — not to game search engines.
Corrections policy
If you spot a mistake — an incorrect word, a broken example, or an outdated rule — email contactus@wordunscramble.uk. Corrections are typically actioned within 2–3 working days. Substantive corrections are noted on the affected page along with a revised date.
Dictionary sources
All results and word lists on WordUnscramble.uk are checked against the following public sources:
- ENABLE English word list — the primary bundled dictionary (172,823 entries), an open, public-domain list widely used in reference word-game implementations. Background: Moby Project (Wikipedia).
- NASPA Word List (NWL2023) — the competitive Scrabble lexicon used in North America and Thailand. Referenced by name; not redistributed.
- Collins Scrabble Words (CSW) — the competitive Scrabble lexicon used in the UK, Europe and internationally. Referenced by name; not redistributed.

- Collins English Dictionary — collinsdictionary.com

- Wiktionary — en.wiktionary.org
Update process
Guides and reference articles are re-checked at least once every 12 months, and sooner when a game rule, dictionary update, or reader correction requires it. The bundled ENABLE word list is verified against its upstream checksum on every release; any additions or removals are logged.
