When playing Words with Friends, what constitutes poor sportsmanship, if anything?

[Jason]

Looking up words using a scrabble dictionary.

[Jonathan]

By looking up words, do you mean using a word finder? Because I feel like exact match is part of the game: I put down ERNE and let the game reject that if it wants. My sister routinely plays words she has no idea what they mean (SWIVE. SWIVET?) However, I do think saying I've got these seven tile, what are all the words in them is poor sportsmanship.

[Jason]

I meant something like this: http://www.scrabblefinder.com/ It is extremely useful for when you have a blank tile.

I do not think that trying words is poor sportsmanship. Also, memorizing all the legal two word combinations is just good preparation.

memorizing all the legal two word combinations is just good preparation.

That list is also provided in the rules to scrabble... At least it was in the last scrabble board we bought.

Yeah, I routinely try words that I'm not sure really exist.

It also means I'm not as good at Scrabble as Words With Friends.
