Using a built-in list seems like a very bad option. Those words would have to 
be maintained and translated, and to make the game playable, it would take 
hundreds, if not thousands of words. If it's technically possible, using a 
pre-made dictionary seems like the best way to go.

By the way, are there not already several Scrabble versions (such as 
XScrabble) available for Unix operating systems? If so, why write yet 
another? Of course, it's always nice to have something written specifically 
for Qt/KDE, but we can't go around rewriting every piece of software ever 
written, can we?
