Currently for Windows 32 and 64 bit, soon for OSX.  5.1.1 has added accurate playability data for CSW19 and a few other small features and fixes.  See https://collinszyzzyva.wordpress.com/collins-zyzzyva-changelog/ for change history.  Download links are at:  https://www.collinsdictionary.com/scrabble/scrabble-tools/

Hi Jim,

Any word on when 5.1.1 for OSX will be out? https://www.collinsdictionary.com/scrabble/scrabble-tools/ still says 5.1.0 but the https://collinszyzzyva.wordpress.com/collins-zyzzyva-changelog/ mentions a 5.1.1 build.

(I'm mostly interested in the CSW19 playability data without having to do workarounds or build from source.)

Hi Nick,

I had sent 5.1.1 to Collins, and they said it had been updated, but it looks like they haven't. I'll ask them about it. In the meantime, I'll contact you directly with a link to download 5.1.1.

Regards,
Anand

Note that in 5.1.1 the correct playability data is there, but there is a bug in some searches involving it such that words with undesired playability are returned.  It’s usually pretty obvious when it happens.  There will be a 5.1.2 release where this is fixed, hopefully around end of month.

Oh dear! We are in 2021 and still no bug fix! Will there be a v5.1.2?

It likely won’t be from me, since I became busy with work.  If you or someone else has coding skills and would like to work on a project without much documentation, let me know.

Probably not much point, given the announcement that Collins intends to do an immediate edit of their dictionary

Do you have a link to that?  Is it for the reason of offensive words?

They are calling them "hate speech" I believe.
I saw a public blog from Mattel, but they haven't released the list of words yet (400+).
