Ask HN: Possible to build an AI version of Wordfeud?

1 pointsby robbiejsover 1 year ago
Hello HN,<p>I used to play Scrabble with my mother (Dutch version) and I would lay words that in my imaginitive mind exist, but that would never be in a dictionary.<p>Imagine a scenario where I want to extend the word &quot;katten&quot; (cats):<p>---<p>kattenpoep (cat poo) would be approved<p>kattenpis (cat pee) would be approved as well<p>kattenspeeltje (cat toy) would probably be approved too.<p>---<p>These words are common enough for Wordfeud and my mother to approve them.<p>However, if I extend the word &quot;katten&quot; like this:<p>---<p>kattengrappen (jokes about cats)<p>kattentransport (cat transport)<p>kattenpolitie (cat police)<p>---<p>These words will not be accepted by Wordfeud or my mom. These words are rare and quirky but valid in my opinion.<p>Is there an AI&#x2F;API available that would test an input like &quot;kattengrappen&quot; to check if it &quot;could be a valid word&quot;? Not by using a word dictionary, but by using API.<p>Are the AIs&#x2F;APIs available for this purpose and could they be used to create a free-to-play game?<p>I&#x27;d love to hear your ideas!<p>RobbieJS
