OP said it wasn't visible during play, only as a quick reference when resolving disputes -- quicker than hunting through a full-size dictionary.
> No, this is against the rules.
It wasn't, but even if it was, that's only the official rules. We can choose to play by different rules.

I'm pretty sure he edited that comment without noting it, the current text doesn't match what I quoted. I do think I misread his intent, but I don't think he originally said that it was just for resolving disputes or specified that it wasn't visible during play. You can see other comments reacting in line with my original interpretation, too.
No, this is against the rules. You know what we call a list of words? A dictionary. You aren't allowed to have those open until a word gets challenged. A decade ago I had all the two letter words in the Scrabble dictionary memorized, I doubt I'd still be able to spit them all out.
