Macondo Alternatives

macondo reviews and mentions

• Has there been a scrabble AI who can make predictions on the winning probabilities?
  2 projects | /r/scrabble | 10 Jan 2023

  Yes! Scrabble AI has been around for decades. Quackle, Elise and Macondo in particular. All of these use similar strategies to find the best moves and to estimate win %. There's still lots of room for improvement though.

  But you can also go one step further, and I'd highly recommend you do. Quackle will run a simulation (i. e., a Monte Carlo rollout) of the game situation to find the move that leads to the best winning chances. This is still by no means a perfect solver of Scrabble, but it is a very instructive tool to understand how to play the game well. Elise does the same thing with some twists and additional features, but isn't quite as user-friendly and only runs on Mac. Both programmes are freeware. There is another engine, Macondo, currently in development that aims to improve on these existing ones. It does not have a GUI yet.

• Is there a scrabble engine, like an engine you have in chess?
  1 project | /r/scrabble | 22 Oct 2021

  Yes. The most popular one is Quackle, the best one in my opinion is Elise, and a promising new one is Macondo.

• Is there a way to analyse Scrabble games similarly to chess?

  quackle and macondo both have move analysis.
