Platform Methodology
How WordRushTools builds dictionaries, scores plays, ranks results, and validates content.
Our platform methodology covers the engineering and editorial choices behind the tools and content on WordRushTools.com.
Dictionary sources
See Dictionary & Reference Sources.
Scoring
Scrabble-style and Words-With-Friends-style scoring uses the published tile values for each game. Board-aware suggestions apply standard premium-square multipliers (DL, TL, DW, TW) and bingo bonuses where applicable.
Wordle ranking
Wordle-style candidates are ranked using a deterministic frequency-weighted information-gain estimate over the remaining candidate list after applying green, yellow, and gray constraints.
Pattern matching
Crossword pattern matching uses case-insensitive literal letters with ? as a single-character wildcard, combined with length and prefix filters.
Editorial validation
Long-form content is reviewed under our Editorial Policy.
Updates
Dictionary updates and content corrections are issued on a rolling basis.
