This looks pretty good!

Why not give a totally exhaustive account of scoring? You don't mention the bonuses for using lots of tiles, for instance.

if (isnew >= 7) {
    wordscore += ((isnew-6)*25);
}
  ... where isnew is the number of tiles used from the rack.

Why not add a link to the dictionary?
