the game isn't solved so there is no program that can give you the "optimal" move for any situation. The premier Scrabble AI is called Maven, but it is not free, I am not sure how strong the freeware alternatives are but I know Maven is meant to be around the strength of top human players. There are lots of sites that can find some words if you give them the letters (which is only a tiny part of playing scrabble well), I like www.a2zwordfinder.com

you could try Quackle but I don't know anything about it, just google to find out more info about Maven etc.

rollwave - I was going to say that too but tbh he will probably get just as good responses here, there isn't much scrabble talk in that forum

You may be interested in the Scrabulizer - though the non-registered part of the site is a bit short on what exactly it means by "strategic" moves.
