The game is far more strategy-dependant than vocabulary-dependant. The word list comes nowhere near being exhausted on a given board within a game.
Now, is it possible to write an AI? Sure, and actually, an AI-contest for this game would be a whole lot of fun. It's not simply "generate words" - you could give everyone the word list and the game would still play well.

Not true, for example I've been ruining the game for the past couple hours with a quick (greedy) AI.
Play a couple rounds with words like 'tetrasyllabics', where you completely reverse their blocks, and people just give up :(
Actually, I'm hoping there's someone else out there doing this too, because then I'll need to throw in the blocking logic.
