Share Extension

What it does

The TileTactician Share Extension lets you analyze a Scrabble or Crossplay board without manually entering every tile. Share a screenshot from any app — Photos, Messages, Safari — and TileTactician reads the board and opens the analysis view.

How to use

1. Take a screenshot of the board (or save a board image).
2. Tap the Share button in any iOS app.
3. Scroll the share sheet and tap TileTactician.
4. The extension reads the board and opens TileTactician with the tiles pre-filled.
5. Verify the board, enter your rack, and tap Analyze Board.

Enabling the extension

If TileTactician does not appear in the share sheet:

1. Open any app and tap Share.
2. Scroll the share sheet all the way to the right and tap More (···).
3. Find TileTactician in the list and toggle it on.
4. Optionally drag it to the top of the list for quick access.

Accuracy

The extension uses image recognition to read tiles from the screenshot. Accuracy depends on:

• Image clarity — a clean, well-lit screenshot works best
• Board alignment — the board should fill most of the frame
• App rendering — screenshots from the NYT Games app and official Scrabble apps are well-supported

Always verify the imported board before analyzing. Misread tiles produce incorrect results. See Board entry for how to correct individual cells.

Limitations

• iOS only (the Share Extension is an iOS platform feature)
• One board per share — sharing multiple images processes only the first
• The extension does not read the rack; enter your tiles manually after import
