Scrabble & word games cheat tool, is it ethical?

Question

HI,

I just finished writing a software app called crablems you can check it out here -> http://code.google.com/p/crablems/

I just wanted to know if this would in anyway help cheats. Like I don't like people who use cheat codes, so this is a kind of a cheat tool so I'm not sure if it is ethical, but again

DISCLAIMER from me : This app is purely for fun. You and your conscience take all responsibilities for any negative karma that you may get by cheating with your friends :) xD

So tell me what do you feel, the most satisfactory answer gets 10 points.

Answer 1

Is there another human being whose spirit you unfairly crushed?

Answer 2

Ethical or unethical are probably serious words to apply to games, especially when the games are just for fun.  Most people who play these games know that there are ways to do better, and one of the ways might be to use a tool like the one you are developing.  I think it would be mean to cheat in a game where the other players did not have access to the same advantage, but I don't think it would be unethical - just mean.  I would think that these tools help people in all kinds of ways.

Answer 3

I don't think so.  I do what I can, and then would go to a tool like this.  Obviously if I didn't know something, I would learn from your tool.  If I knew all the answers I wouldn't need it.  So it's not a cheating tool, it's a learning tool.
