Rack word-buildability checker API

Given a letter rack ('?' = blank) and a list of candidate words, returns which are buildable (with blank-tile accounting) plus each word's Scrabble score. Pure, no network. Answers 'can I spell these words from my tiles?', 'which of these plays are legal for my rack?'.
