Iv’e been working with objective-c for while and I want to attempt to build an app. The app will be similar to a scrabble type of game. There are going to be drag and drop tiles (I already know how to program this) and a submit button. The only thing that I’m having trouble with is figuring out how I am going to compare the letters on the board to hundreds of thousands words without bogging down my program to much. What I have in mind, so far, is to store these the words in a database. Does objective-c have any kind of built in api that can access a standard dictionary database? I’m not referring to a dictionary array but rather an actual database with words and possibly definitions. Any thoughts on this?

I have used Lexicontext, it’s $20, but it’s worth it in my opinion, is extremely fast, there’s a demo, and it contains a API for formatting definitions with CSS.
