NASPA Zyzzyva is a word study and word adjudication program.

Supported Operating Systems

NASPA Zyzzyva is an application for desktop and laptop computers, currently available for the Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.

The NASPA Zyzzyva Mobile app is now available for iOS and Android devices. Please see that page for information about the mobile version.

Current Version

Version 3.4.2 adds the CSW24 lexicon. It continues to include the NWL2023, NSWL2023, NWL2020, NSWL2020, NWL2018, NSWL2018, CSW21,and Volost lexicons.

History

Michael Thelen wrote the original version of what was then Zyzzyva, and maintained it for many years as it gained worldwide popularity. Zyzzyva has been used at software self-lookup stations at most North American SCRABBLE tournaments, including BAT, Oregon TILE, the Dallas Open, the National SCRABBLE Championship, National School SCRABBLE Championship, the Canadian National SCRABBLE Championship and the World SCRABBLE Championship.

In September 2014, NASPA bought all rights to Zyzzyva, and we have worked since then with our SCRABBLE partners to ensure access to all the official word lists for our members.

NASPA’s Zyzzyva Committee has continued development of the desktop edition of what became NASPA Zyzzyva. Their most recent work has been to factor off a common code base for all NASPA Zyzzyva platforms, desktop and mobile, so that they can be maintained in parallel. The Committee welcomes suggestions about improvements to the software.
