Simple crossword solver
• Words up to 28 letters
• 110,000 word dictionary
• Web search word definitions
• Anagram search
Set the number of letters in the word you are looking for using the dropdown. If the slots won't fit on the screen, rotate the phone so they will. The letter slots will scroll sideways. The longest word in the dictionary is antidisestablishmentarianism, which is 28 letters. Even if 28 slots won't fit on the screen, the app should still find this word.
Fill in the letters you have in the slots. As each letter is entered the next slot will be selected and the app will search for words. You can also use the keyboard Next button or the Search button to search. A stop character may be used as a wildcard.
A list of matching words will appear below. If you select a word in the list, the slots will be filled in with that word, and a new screen will show a web search for the definition of the word on DuckDuckGo. You may select links on the page and navigate back using the Home button on the toolbar.
There are three icons in the toolbar, Anagram, which will show the anagram screen, Help, which will show the help screen, and About, which will show the copyright, licence and version.
Type in the word or phrase you want anagrams for, and use the keyboard Search button or the Search button to search. The search may take a while, depending on the length of the phrase. During the search the Search button is disabled. The anagram search uses a smaller 58,000 word dictionary to reduce the search time, and because the larger dictionary contains a large number of not very useful three and four letter words and acronyms.
Touch any blank area on the display to select all of the input field, so further input will replace it. Don't enter anything other than letters and blanks or the search will fail.
A list of anagrams will appear below, sorted in reverse order of value, derived from Scrabble letter values. If you select an entry in the list, the entry will be copied to the input field and a new screen will show a web search for the definition of the entry on DuckDuckGo.
This anagram algorithm is intended as a useful additional function to the crossword clue search, but is in no way comprehensive. Use one of the online anagram sites, such as at Wordsmith.org for a more comprehensive search.
