App Description
Solve crossword puzzles, cryptograms, Wordfeud, Scrabble™, or just check your spelling. Sort by word length, alphabet or score to find not just the longest words, but the words with the highest score!
Lookup words online or in the local dictionary with a Copy/Define/Lookup/Mail/Tweet menu.
Enter the search term to find the word(s) you are looking for with a dot (.) for one letter, and/or an at-sign (@) for multiple letters. More than a million words are included, without the need for an on-line connection.
Search is case insensitive: type 'öl', and 'Öl' is displayed too.
ä, ë and ü are special letters, and not the same as a, e and u.
Words with an "Eszet" or Ringel-s, 'ß', are included twice. Once with the ß, and once with the 'ß' replaced by 'ss'.
The anagram search is extended to find single- and multi-word anagrams, and search for more words in the remaining letters. Share your anagrams with Twitter and e-mail!
