Below are instructions for the various parts.

▶ Complete ◀
To search for words, fill in the letters you know in the text box and replace unknown letters with an asterisk (*).
Asterisk is most easily written by pressing the space bar.
Hopefully, one of the found words, is the word you where looking for!
Example:
- Looking for a six letter long word, whose third letter is C and the fourth letter is O, type **CO**
- Looking for a four-letter long word whose first letter is A, type A***

▶ Anagram ◀
Anagrams are word created by rearranging the letters in a word. All letters in the word must be used. Simply type in a word and the program gives you all the words that can be created by rearranging those letters.

▶ Rhyme ◀
Enter a word and the app gives you a list of words that rhyme to this. Note that the computer is stupid in the sense that it only looks for how the word is spelled and not how it sounds. Thus, it is not certain that all listed words are actually good rhyme when pronounced. It can sometimes be a good idea to also try to write the word as it sounds.

▶ Word games ◀
This function lists all words that can be created by combining the letters you enter. All letters will not necessarily be used. Instead, the words are listed in the order that gives the most points according to scores in Wordfeud or Scrabble. You can easily select by which game you want to sort. If you have a wild card (which can be used as any letter), you can enter that by specifying an asterisk (*) (Press the space bar).
Example: If you have the letters "AUGHY" and would like to add them next to the letter X already on the board, write the letters "AUGHYX" and see if you get some good hits that fit. If you do not feel satisfied with this and would rather put the word next to the letter Z on the board, just remove the X from the input and add the Z instead. I.e. "AUGHYZ".

Good luck and have fun!
