Too easy to cheat?

I recently developed Letter Tycoon, which is currently in beta.
Since a major element of this game is forming words (similar to Scrabble), some people have pointed out that it's fairly easy to "cheat" by using various online word tools. This is probably unavoidable.
The question is, is this enough of a reason to disable experience and arenas for this game? Is that even possible?

I would not worry about that, there is nothing you can do.
There are plenty of chess engines that could be used for the game of chess, no doubt there are other tools for other games as well.

I was just thinking that and I think it's going to have to be a game I just play with people I know unfortunately.

Play only in 'training mode' if you're that worried about it.

Is there any money prize to be declared "Letter Tycoon world's best player on BGA Arena"?
People are really weird, if someone can be bothered to cheat on a free online game during a pandemic...
