Regarding the questions about SCRABBLE Programs,
I can recommend the following papers, largely concentrating on the
representation of the lexicon and on a good lexicon search algorithm:

S.  C.  Shapiro, A SCRABBLE crossword game playing program.  Proc.  Sixth
International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Morgan Kaufmann,
Inc., Los Altos, CA, 1979, 797--799.

S.  C.  Shapiro, SCRABBLE crossword game playing programs.  SIGART Newsletter,
No.  80 (April 1982), Special Issue on Game Playing Programs, 109--110.
--There may be other SCRABBLE reports in this issue, I forget.

S.  C.  Shapiro, SCRABBLE crossword game playing programs.  In M.  A.  Bramer,
Ed.  Computer Game-Playing: Theory and Practice, Ellis Horwood, Ltd.,
Chichester, England, 1983, 221--228.
--This version has the best version of the lexicon representation and search
algorithm.  The book contains at least one other paper on SCRABBLE.

S.  C.  Shapiro and H.  R.  Smith, A SCRABBLE crossword game-playing program.
In D.  N.  L.  Levy, Ed.  Computer Games I.  Springer-Verlag, New York, 1988,
403--419.
-- A reprint of a 1977 Technical Report, so this is actually the first paper in
the sequence, even though it now has the most recent date.

There was a paper on SCRABBLE by someone else published in CACM sometime in
1987-88, titled something like The World's Fastest SCRABBLE player.
