Some official list of words used for Scrabble can be found online, but it seems they cannot be used freely. Other lists can be found here and there on abandoned web pages and repos, but it's never clear how good they are, and they often come in weird or annoying formats (e.g. XLS). In the end I used one from this GitHub repository but I'm still not convinced of its quality.

I also did not use "vanilla" LiveView, as I used the Surface library. This is a wrapper around LiveView that brings a whole new syntax to make the experience even more comfortable.
