AardWord Crossword Dictionary (US) - Improve your word skills - and have fun doing it - with the best and most popular crossword dictionary for Palm OS. The dictionary of choice for crossword lover and crossword beginner alike.
AardWord takes just a few seconds to do the routine work of finding words with the right letters in the right place, so you can use your skills to decipher the clues and choose the correct word for the puzzle. Smaller, lighter, faster, easier than a printed crossword dictionary.
AardWord US Edition comes with the Enhanced North American Benchmark Lexicon (ENABLE) - probably the most comprehensive list of American English words available. All forms of each word are listed, including obscure plurals. This lexicon contains over 173,000 entries, in total 1.8 megabytes of data, compressed to just 700 KB to fit into your Palm handheld.
Use it as a Scrabble dictionary too. Or even compile your own crosswords! Crossword enthusiast or crossword beginner? Need to solve that last annoying clue? Want to move on to harder crosswords, but need a helping hand? Want to win that crossword competition?
How to use AardWord: simply write in the letters you know, and use a hyphen '-' for the letters you don't know. For example: type in '--a-pl-'. The AardWord search will give you 'example', 'grapple', 'reapply', 'sharply' and 'trample'.
Now available in 2 versions:
AardWord - without anagrams
AardWord PLUS - with anagrams
AardWord PLUS has an aditional "Anagrams" button, which searches for anagrams of the word you entered. An anagram is any word which can be made by combining - in any order - the letters entered, using each letter once only.
For example: type in "eimt". AardWord PLUS will give you "emit", "item", "mite" and "time".
(The demo download also contains demos of the AardSpell spelling checker, AardMemo with spellcheck, and the AardTris word game, which use the same dictionary, and AardPuzzle. Does not work with memory expansion cards.)
