Using AI Assistance to Incorporate a Letter on the Scrabble Board into Your Scrambled Letters to Come Up with a Word

In this article, we present methods to use Generative AI to help us unscramble letters to make words for Scrabble-like games. It doesn't play the game for us. Instead, it assists us in the game play. In this example, we use Microsoft Copilot. ChatGPT and other AI services will work similarly.

I got a tough hand in the game above. I have two rare letters: a Q and a V. To make my hand even worse, I have three A's, which is too many of one vowel. Let us see if AI can help me out. Seeing a triple letter (TL) square and a double letter (DL) square next to the G on top, I may be able to take advantage of my rare letters. I send the following prompt to Microsoft Copilot to incorporate the G into my hand:

Make words using v q i a a a g.

Copilot responded with the following:

Sure! Here are some words we can create using the letters v, q, i, a, a, a, and g:

  1. Viga (a type of beam or rafter in Spanish architecture)
  2. Ava (a name)
  3. Via (meaning by way of)

Given the unique combination of letters, there aren't a lot of options, but we managed to find a few! If you have any other sets of letters or need more words, feel free to let me know. 😊

I have never seen the word, "Viga". So I'm glad Copilot came up with that one. It even provided the meaning of it. A lot of people play Scrabble-like games to increase vocabulary. Using AI is a great way to accomplish that.

"Viga" is perfect because the V lands right on the TL square, tripling the V's 4 points worth. Although it's not the most spectacular play, it earns me 17 points from a less opportunistic hand.

Perhaps I could have done better if I direct a AI prompt with the blank letter. But I have not though of a way to use that in a prompt. Let us know if you have any ideas.
