Scrabblr - A scrabble calculation/validation API

As it is Friday and I am jetlagged I declare “pointless API Friday” and give you Scrabblr.

Scrabblr allows you to send a word to it and it returns the scrabble value or an error in case the word has too many instances of a character than there are tiles available. Output formats are either a simple string (no format defined), XML or JSON. For JSON you also can have a callback parameter to use the API in script nodes.

Examples:

• http://icant.co.uk/sandbox/scrabblr/?word=kitten
• http://icant.co.uk/sandbox/scrabblr/?word=kitten&format=xml
• http://icant.co.uk/sandbox/scrabblr/?word=kitten&format=json
• http://icant.co.uk/sandbox/scrabblr/?word=kitten&format=json&callback=foo
